Colts explain why they didn't select an impact pass rusher.
Not to nitpick, but the Indianapolis Colts realize they didn’t do much in the NFL draft to impact their pass rush.
Put simply, they thought the guys they wanted came off the board too soon and the Colts weren’t going to reach for a player if unconvinced he could help.
“We know that’s a need,” owner Jim Irsay said. “We knew we weren’t going to be able to solve every need.”
While Colts general manager Ryan Grigson and head coach Chuck Pagano gushed about the eight players they did select, including four offensive linemen, they also acknowledged the need that wasn’t addressed with an impact player.
