Experience in the secondary
One thing was clear when Chris Ballard was wheeling and dealing during the month of March: the Colts wanted to bring in more of a veteran presence on the defensive side of the ball.
This is especially true in the secondary where both Xavier Rhodes (104 games, 97 starts) and T.J. Carrie (92 games, 50 starts) will bring plenty of experience to the cornerback room. Kenny Moore is growing into a strong slot corner while Rock Ya-Sin is a promising player on the boundary.
But the Colts have an extremely young secondary so adding veterans like Rhodes and Carrie will help the development of the entire room, especially for players like Quincy Wilson and Marvell Tell.
