Colts' defensive transformation begins in Mel Kiper's latest mock draft

Robert Mathis and his 123.5 career sacks? Retired. Team-sack leader Erik Walden (11)? Free agent. Trent Cole and his 90.5 career sacks? Another free agent.

The status -- and age -- of those three players has the Indianapolis Colts in the position of trying to finding their next wave of (younger) pass-rushers.

A week after Todd McShay had the Colts selecting Florida State running back Dalvin Cook in his mock draft, Mel Kiper Jr. has them addressing their defensive needs by selecting a pass-rusher, UCLA's Takkarist McKinley.
