Add 4 more solid players from the 2017 draft to add to V Davis and a stud or two from next year's free agency class and we are much closer to a solid defense than a "gloom & doom" prophet like you will admit.

Sorry, can't take anything that lists Antonio Morrison as "solid", a "foundational player", or anything other than "needs replaced immediately" seriously. You've seriously overrated a lot of those players, mostly the Grigson holdovers you listed. I wouldn't consider any of Ridgeway, Parry, Jackson, Morrison, Geathers, or Green to be "solid", aka an average NFL starter. Some of them have the potential to get there, but even that list is short (Ridgeway, Geathers, Green). This is why defense needs to be the focus of the draft, the Colts defense is still bottom half of the league at best after adding a lot of pieces through free agency because they lack top end talent at most positions on that side of the ball. That talent is most often and best acquired through the draft.
