Getting a pro bowl type defender (hello Kenny Moore) without using any draft capital was huge.

I'm not so sure that the Colts, at least with some players, aren't starting to go the 'position-less' way that the NBA is headed. NFL teams started doing this with defensive lineman (see JJ Watt, etc) and the Colts seem to see some linebackers and offensive players (Hines) the same way. I'm wondering if guys like Banogu, Tell and Campbell are not slated to line up all over the field.

It will be very interesting to see how innovative we will be in use of the new guys. It is so much more fun having a coaching staff that will be innovative. Love rooting for this team.

Absolutely. Thanks for the kind words. And as for position-less, that is an interesting point. You see our D-line interchange through-out each game, and Banogu seems a player that can swap between DE and OLB on a whim if needed.
