Draft Wrap Up

Bill Polian and the Colts surprised us this weekend by not surprising us. They filled the basic need areas that fans and media had been targeting since the fall. Offensive line depth was a major issue during parts of the 2007 season and the loss of Jake Scott to Tennessee in free agency only compounded the problem.

Wide receiver depth was at times an embarrassment in 2007. Who could forget the sickening feeling you got when you looked up to see Devin Aromashodu was playing against the Falcons? Check. I gotta say I'm pretty pleased right now.

Round 3) Philip Wheeler - Ga Tech, LB

Round 4) Jacob Tamme - Kentucky, TE

Round 5) Marcus Howard - Georgia, DE

Round 6) Tom Santi - Virginia, TE

Round 6) Steven Justice - Wake Forest, C
