A Greenwood native, Curry will slide right into a Colts team that already features Laiatu Latu, J.T. Tuimoloau and George Gumbs Jr.. Latu and Tuimoloau are set to play major roles at EDGE in 2026. Chris Ballard talked about wanting to add “juice” to the position on day three of the draft at yesterday. Well see what the future holds for Curry and Gumbs with the team in 2026 and beyond.

Here is what Lance Zurlein said about about Curry leading up to the draft:

The tape doesn’t quite match the production, but with only one season as a starter, Curry’s play should continue to improve. He has good size and can play edge in even or odd fronts. He uses lower-body power to help access the pocket but his rush lacks explosiveness and a healthy set of go-to moves to open the protection up. He can rush from the interior, allowing teams to get more speed on the field. He’s built to hold up at the point but would benefit from an uptick in aggression to better command both his positioning and the block. Curry is athletic dropping into space and fits the mold of a stand-up edge with special-teams value.

With another pick in the books the Colts will be on the clock again soon. With as many holes as they have to fill, it’s good that this was one of six day three selections the team will make today.
