0:00On April 23rd, Indianapolis Colts heading into the NFL Draft with massive defensive needs, especially at off-ball linebacker and defensive end, no first round pick means they got to be smart with just seven selections, hunting trades for extra ammo of possible. Their defense under coordinator, Lu Anorumo, runs multiple schemes, mixing blitzes and drops, but death is thin across the board. At defensive end, they banking on Lyatu Latu to lead the rush, with new guys like Arden Ki stepping up, though backups lack proven juice. Minebacker stands out as the biggest gap after trading captain Zaire Franklin, leaving starters like a Keem Davis-Gaether and Jalen Carly's exposed. Especially in short yardage, where they ranked dead last last season. Meanwhile, cornerback needs Slot-Hell-Post Kenny Moore, relying on injured Justin Wally and safety has returners from Liz Franck and migraines needing, competition. Interior line looks solid with Buckner and Stewart, but age and injuries loom.
