Just how many possible starters will be aquired through da draft?


Recommended Posts

1) A rotational Nose or 3 Tackle

2) A rotational RB

3) A FB

4) A nickel corner

5) A Full-time SAM LB

 

so 2 starters (depending how much we use the 2 back set) FB and SAM LB; and 3 key rotational players..I bet just about every team including the Colts is looking at the draft with the same amount or more needs....

I'd say you can count on two--our first round pick and the law of averages saying that one other guys steps up and becomes a decent first year starter. I think we got lucky/spoiled last year getting 4-5 guys coming in and contributing big right away. If, as most agree, we have 4 holes to fill (LB, DT, CB and RB), that leaves two to fill in FA and/or someone on the team now stepping up. Not an impossible task, but not an easy one, either. Personally I think we'll be anywhere from 6-10 to 10-6 next season. I do think, however, that with losing no one of import next offseason (no big names are up for FA) and a bunch of extra picks (two thirds and seventh for WM and probably at least a 4 or 5 this year for TKO), we get much better in 2008....
