On April 4th, the Indianapolis Colts are gearing up for this month's NFL Draft with some big gaps on their roster, especially on defense at Edge.

Russia and Linebacker, plus a need for an outside wide receiver on offense. They might even look at safety, though the front office likes their second-year guy Hunter Wooler.

Without a first-round pick, they're banking on later rounds to flood these holes after a quiet free agency.

They traded away all pro linebackers, Zaire Franklin, to the Green Bay Packers this off-season, and veteran Germain Pratt is still a free agent.
