Show Notes
With the NFL Draft approaching, the Indianapolis Colts face a pressing need at linebacker. Despite potential returns or additions, coverage remains a significant weakness. The unit excels in tackles but falters in pass defense, particularly on third down. This longstanding issue has been attributed to various factors, but linebackers have often been spared criticism. Fans and analysts recognize the pattern, with players like Zaire Franklin shining in tackles but struggling in pass coverage. Draft trends suggest day-two gems for teams without first-round picks. The Colts could benefit from drafting two rookie linebackers with strong pass skills, complementing their strong D-line and developing secondary. Expect at least two rookie starters on defense, with linebackers currently leading the list. Stay tuned for draft contest details.
