The Colts have made many improvements this offseason, however, there are still many positional needs to be filled approaching the NFL Draft.
What started out as a slow offseason for the Indianapolis Colts, ended up being very fruitful. If you look at the number of players the Colts have added this year, you can without a doubt see that the team has gotten better.
Indianapolis still has many positional needs to fill and with free agency almost wrapped up, what positions should Indy focus on the most going into the NFL Draft?
So far in this offseason, Indy has made a number of major improvements. The Colts shipped off Carson Wentz and then traded for his replacement in Matt Ryan and acquired former Pro Bowl defensive end Yannick Ngakoue from the Raiders.
They also signed former DPOY Stephon Gilmore. To go along with these acquisitions they signed safety Rodney McLeod and a few more players for depth.
It’s almost safe to say that the Colts are done making any major moves as far as free agency is concerned. With that being said the team will definitely have new starters coming from this year’s NFL Draft.
Since Chris Ballard has taken over as general manager for Indianapolis, he has looked to build the team through the draft. In fact, if you look at the Colts’ current depth chart, thirteen of the Colts’ current starters were drafted since Chris Ballard took over.
The NFL Draft is less than a week away and the Colts own a total of seven picks. In this article, I am going to give the Colts’ top-three positional needs going into the NFL Draft as well as who they should pick for each position.
