Analyzing Colts draft needs: Safety

In anticipation of this weekend's NFL Draft, which begins with the first round Thursday night (8 p.m., ESPN, NFL Network), we'll dive into the areas of greatest need for the Indianapolis Colts.

First up: Safety.

Back from last season: Mike Adams, Winston Guy, Dewey McDonald, Colt Anderson

Key additions: Dwight Lowery

Key losses: LaRon Landry, Sergio Brown

Where they stand: When it comes to safety, the Colts found themselves very fortunate last season. Adams, picked up for pennies on the dollar in June, wound up delivering more than anyone could have reasonably asked: The veteran started every game at free safety, tied for the league-lead in takeaways (seven) and hauled in a career-high five interceptions.
