The Indianapolis Colts returned to prominence much quicker than many expected when Andrew Luck was drafted, but then again the way he was talked about in the pre-draft process, it shouldn’t be this much of a surprise that he’s been able to have such a fantastic impact for Indianapolis in two short seasons.
The Colts are among the best teams in the NFL, they are spending a lot of money (over the last two years) and are getting guys that are making an impact.
Without a first round pick this year, Indy is going to count heavily on running back Trent Richardson making a serious difference for their offense. They have some pretty glaring needs to they will have to get some instant contributors with their top couple of picks, but this is once again going to be a very good team in 2014.

Colts Team Needs
1. Cornerback
With Vontae Davis re-signed, the Colts need a #2 corner that can be a solid long-term option for them.
2. Guard
The Colts’ interior offensive line has some major question marks with Donald Thomas coming off an injury. They could address this spot on day two.
3. Center
The Colts drafted Khaled Holmes in the 4th round last year, so where they’re at with his development will be revealed in how they address this spot in the draft.
4. Safety
5. Pass Rusher
