Whichever team takes Foster, though, is getting a big-time, sideline-to-sideline defender with All-Pro potential. Indianapolis has done a solid job of upgrading its roster this offseason, and picking Foster (6-0, 229) is another step toward defensive respectability.

If Foster is there at #15, you pick him without hesitation.
He has the physical skills that the Colts have not had at ILB/MLB since....yeah, I cannot think of another ILB/MLB that Colts have had with his physical skills.
With Foster, it is all about his head. Does he have the mental ability to learn a defense, employ that defense and keep focused on football even in the off season? If the answer to those questions are yes, then you take him.
While I want Pass Rush, Foster would make the entire defense that much better, instantly.
Cheers,
