Indianapolis selects S Javon Bullard with the 79th overall pick
The safety position has been a heavy focus it seems like over the last few years, but do the Colts have their two guys back there? Julian Blackmon shows signs of being an unstoppable machine, but will fall off. Same goes for Rodney Thomas II, and then Nick Cross has all but dissapeared on the defense.
Adding a guy like Javon Bullard bolsters this hard hitting defense and helps protect the deep ball in the secondary.
I thought Javon Bullard played one of his better games this season on Saturday. This play was one of the best. He keys run the whole time and sets the edge and makes the stop from his safety position. pic.twitter.com/Ge5fLKGcyk

Being able to play deep and move up and hit a running back in the backfield is a great skill set for a safety and would add to the physicality of the Colts defense.
It's November, so let's remember the draft is still six months away. But this is an early look at the first three rounds of the Colts. This will change a minimum of 150 times before draft day. But let's see how these players move up and down the draft board.
