0:00On April 14th, the Indianapolis Colts' biggest positional need right now is linebacker, straight up according to pro football focus, and it's tough to, argue otherwise. They lost all pro Zaire Franklin in a trade to the Green Bay Packers this offseason, and veteran Jermaine Predd is a free agent they're not rushing to. Resign, leaving major holes in the lineup. Current starters, Akeem Davis-Gather, and Austin a G-A-K, both graded below 50 overall last year, and while they grabbed Davis-Gather from other. Teams, the depth just isn't cutting it yet, guys like third year Jalen Carly's have proven themselves.

Allen, Cincinnati's Jack Golday, and Texas Texas Jacob Rodriguez, could fill that void and stabilize things for next season.
