Round 7, 235th Overall Pick: LB Zaire Franklin

Chris Ballard decided to pick up another linebacker in the seventh round in Syracuse’s Zaire Franklin.

Franklin had two seasons of 10+ tackles for loss in college. He was fairly inconsistent at Syracuse, but I think he has a higher upside than the Colts’ first pick in the seventh round.

B. . LB. . ZAIRE FRANKLIN

It’s highly unlikely that Franklin will become an NFL contributor, but I don’t mind taking a chance on him with the final pick.
