The Colts surely have to do something in free agency with regards the defensive backfield? We currently have 5 guys that i think might make the roster and only 2 of those are what i would actually consider to be at a reasonable NFL standard those two being Davis and Geathers. The other 3 are Melvin, who only started by default and wasn't all that great, and should be our 5th or 6th corner, then T.J. Green who looked lost when he played last year, but lets hope that with another training camp that he pulls his head out of his arse and plays to the level that he was drafted, and finally Farley who is borderline NFL talent.
We likely will carry 10 defensive backs on the final roster. That means we need to find 5/6 guys who are better than Farley and Melvin, we might draft 2/3, but that means we need to pickup at least 2 guys, more realistically 3 and possibly 4 via free agency. Although we are trying to get younger, i agree with a lot of people that we should resign Darius Butler, who would fill 2 slots, both the nickle and the main backup at safety.
The other guys currently on the roster include, Andrew Williamson, Stefan McClure, Chris Milton and Charles James II.
This to me is now by far the biggest area of need for the Colts, sure we need a pass rusher and inside linebackers as an upgrade to what we have already signed in free agency.....but we literally have no talent at corner, nor any depth.
