Is it jumping the gun a little to take Leonard 21st overall with the whole league available? Maybe. But he had a phenomenal rookie season for the Colts in 2018, and despite a little bit of risk, he seems like a player you can bet on sticking around for a long time.

After leading the NFL in tackles and being a First-Team All-Pro selection as a rookie, Leonard is someone you can build a defense around. He turned 24 at the start of training camp, so outside of Joey Bosa, he’s the youngest defensive player in the league who makes such a massive impact on that side of the ball.
