Now I am not totally arguing against you in terms of depth. But how often is a 3rd RB used in a game in comparison to how often a 4th receiver is used? A 4th receiver will probably see 25% of the snaps at a guess, whereas the 3rd RB might see 5% if they are lucky.
Our starters on the DL i am reasonably comfortable with, Paye, Ebukam, Stewart and Buckner as starters and we have the rookie who's name i have yet to learn how to say, let alone spell....Dayo & Lewis often move across the line, that's 7 guys i have reasonably happy with. Could we add a superstar of course we can. Could we do with a run stuffing back up DT, yes, but is that really a priority we need to focus using resources on?

I tend to take a 3-4 year view of each position. From that perspective, the Colts will need a new RB1 in that time, or at the very least an RB2 with an eye toward RB1, a premiere pass rusher and at least one rotational piece at DE, maybe two, a new NT and likely at least looking for the next starter at UT, at least one LB, maybe two, probably 4 DBs, and 2-3 IOL. The only positions that I could see being okay with only depth for the next 3-4 years are QB, WR, TE, and OT.
