Defense Wins Championships

The Colts used their first three picks to go all DEFENSE! The first two picks were used to get corners, a position that needed some upgrading IMHO. Picked 29th in the first round Marlin Jackson was a four-year contributor at Michigan, dividing 39 career starts between safety and cornerback.

The Colts stayed in the Big 10 for Round Two and picked Illinois player Kelvin Hayden who started 11 games at corner as a senior including four interceptions. As a junior, he was a wide receiver who caught a team-high 52 passes. Wide receiver to corner eh? Sounds like a very athletic person and you can usually figure out a way to use athletes.

Third round pick was defensive lineman Vincent Burns from Kentucky. I hope his run blocking is pretty good. Colts let mediocre running back have career days a lot last year. The picks make sense and I hope everyone can contribute in the fall. Ahhh...football. If I snag a job maybe I'll even go to a game.
