15. Indianapolis Colts

15. player. 46. It really doesn’t matter where Ryan Grigson and Chuck Pagano start. The entire Indianapolis Colts defense needs help from front to back. Often the best way to start such a reconstruction is through the pass rush. Robert Mathis has retired. Erik Walden, their best rusher this year is into his 30s. This team has to find a young body they can put on the edge and build around. Lucky for them this draft is stacked with options. <p>Since the Alabama route has brought them some good fortune lately with Ryan Kelly, the Colts go that way again with Tim Williams. The outside linebacker was a definite presence that offenses struggled to contain. His burst, aggressiveness and ability to bend the edge often forced quarterbacks to either step up or be dropped for a sack. This has overshadowed his steady ability to keep contain and stop the run. He’d make a fine addition.</p>. OLB. Alabama. Tim Williams
