The Indianapolis Colts had several options with their first 2 picks in the draft. With needs to fill along the inside defensive line and at pass rusher, inside linebacker, safety and corner, general manager Chris Ballard chose to improve the secondary unit as a whole by selecting safety Malik Hooker and cornerback Quincy Wilson. I applaud the Colts and Ballard for improving the entire secondary unit as opposed to selecting one defensive back and (say) a pass rusher. The Colts have gone from a sub-par secondary to one that, by season’s end, could be a top unit.
We know that Vontae Davis can be one of the best corners in the NFL when healthy.
