Add depth to the safety room
With questions over Malik Hooker’s fifth-year option and simple depth needed, the safety room is a low-key need for the Colts and one that could be addressed earlier than expected.
The Colts have their starters for the season in Hooker and Willis while George Odum provides depth and special teams help. Ballard loves adding to the secondary, which means a Day 2 pick isn’t out of the question, especially if a prospect like Jeremy Chinn is there. On Day 3, players like J.R. Reed and K’Von Wallace come to mind.
The safety room has a solid trio that works well together, but the Colts need to add depth to the room and can do so while finding value throughout the final to days of the draft.
