2012 NFL Draft: 5 Players Besides Andrew Luck Indianapolis Colts Should Focus on
It is widely assumed, if not a downright certainty that the Indianapolis Colts will select Andrew Luck with the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
When you have the first pick, that means you have a bad football team with numerous holes to fill.
Here are five players that the Colts should have high on their boards, and who will help the team get back to their past glory.
Jerel Worthy
1 of 5Fili Moala has underperformed for the majority of his career, and Drake Nevis looks like he may be a good player.
Adding a talented lineman in Jerel Worthy would immediately bolster the Colts run defense. Worthy is a little raw, but could be a very good player down the road as the Colts try to stop Arian Foster, Maurice Jones-Drew, and Chris Johnson.
Coby Fleener
2 of 5If the Colts truly are moving on from Peyton Manning, then they are going into a full rebuilding mode.
That means Dallas Clark, who has been Peyton Manning's security blanket for a decade isn't coming back.
If that's the case, then why not look to draft Andrew Luck's favorite receiver from college? Coby Fleener runs nice routes and has burst. Luck and Fleener can grow together.
Mohamed Sanu
3 of 5Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon are not both coming back, so the Colts need to address the wide receiver position.
There are some very good receivers available via free agency, but if they choose to address the position in the draft, Mohamed Sanu is very intriguing.
At 6'2 215 lbs, Sanu has adequate speed, but is extremely physical and has good quickness. He made some impressive at Rutgers, and could eventually become a number one receiver.
Mike Adams
4 of 5At 6'8 320 lbs, Mike Adams is a mountain.
He is very athletic for his size with good quickness and long arms. He needs to refine his technique, but a talented tackle like Adams could be a very good protector of Luck for the next decade.
Chase Minnifield
5 of 5Yes, there is only one true elite receiver in the AFC South in Houston's Andre Johnson, but you can never have enough corners, and this draft has depth and value at corner going into the middle rounds.
Chase Minnifield may not develop into a lock down corner, but he can be a solid starter in the NFL for many years. He has the long arms to break up plays and the speed to cover receivers downfield.
He isn't the toughest corner, but he can make tackles. Minnifield would be a nice pick in the second or third round.
