After The Draft Thoughts: Indianapolis Colts Do They Have Another Super Bowl Run?

In this installment of After The Draft Thoughts we will look at the Indianapolis Colts and what they did in the NFL draft and how they are looking for next year. Let's first take a look at who they drafted.

1 31 (31) Jerry Hughes DE 6-3 257 TCU
2 31 (63) Pat Angerer LB 6-1 235 Iowa
3 30 (94) Kevin Thomas CB 6-1 185 USC
4 31 (129) Jacques McClendonG 6-3 324 Tennessee
5 31 (162) Brody Eldridge TE 6-5 265 Oklahoma
7 31 (238) Ricardo Mathews DL 6-3 294 Cincinnati
7 33 (240) Kavell Conner LB 6-1 225 Clemson
7 39 (246) Ray Fisher CB 5-9 185

The Indianapolis Colts took Jerry Hughes from TCU. Hughes is a top notch defensive player who could step in and help the Colts right away. Pat Angerer out of Iowa is a good linebacker as well. Most of the players the Colts took were on the defensive side of the ball. It seems every year the Colts lose players to injuries on that side of the ball. The Colts will be in contention as well this year. They need to keep people healthy though as that continues to be a problem on the defensive side of the ball. As long as they have Peyton Manning they will always be in contention. Look for the Colts to make another Super Bowl run, but this year it will be much tougher.
