12. Indianapolis Colts

12. player. 46. A person could pretty much point to any position on the Indianapolis Colts defensive depth chart and it sorely needs help in the draft. So they could go any number of directions and it would be totally understood. Improving the front seven though should take priority for them. Either a productive pass rusher or an active inside linebacker would be tremendous helps to the cause. In this case they go after the latter. <p>Alabama is so loaded with defensive talent that it’s often easy to overlook certain players who aren’t getting their due. Reuben Foster may be one of them. He’s a linebacker who doesn’t mind doing the dirty work. He shoots gaps, stops the run and makes tackles with impressive regularity. A solid athlete with range who isn’t a big weak point in coverage. It’s hard to tell how he’ll be behind an average defensive line, but he is at least a step in the right direction.</p>. ILB. Alabama. Reuben Foster
