Indianapolis Colts’s Run Upto The NFL

A few revelations about the Indianapolis Colts were yielded for February’s Super Bowl. It is the importance of having someone who can back up star DE Dwight Freeney will certainly be one of them that would be addressed in the draft.  The Colts struggled when he left the field and things may have been different with a more viable backup.

The importance of accumulating offensive linemen for the future was something else that became apparent over the course of the season. The Colts will be on the lookout for someone who can take center Jeff Saturday’s place within the next two or three years as he is quickly moving past his prime.  They also need to find a shutdown corner to add depth to the position.

Maurkice Pouncey (C/G, Florida) adds depth at guard (where they are currently relatively weak) and has the potential to replace Saturday thus filling two roles for the Colts.  The Colts are expected to use their first round selection (31^st overall) on him.  He is talented enough that he may start sports betting for them at guard this season .

As DE Jermaine Cunningham is a likely second round selection for the Colts (63^rd overall pick), it is possible that the Colts will use their first two picks on Florida Gators. As the Colts rely heavily upon their defense, the addition of Cunningham will add depth to that position.

By using their third round selection (94^th overall) to select Donovan Warren (CB, Michigan), the Colts will look to add depth at cornerback.  Warren, who has fallen due to his below-average 40 time (4.59) at the Combine, is a physical corner with great ball skills.  Despite his below-average speed, Warren has the skills needed to succeed in Indianapolis’s defense.  He is a steal if the Colts can get him this late in the draft.
