Why does the focus need to be on defense?

So, no, two of the more important measures of performance as to whether an O-Line is performing well or not were both up in the later part of the year. Your eyes were not deceiving you.

Sacks were down but he was still getting drilled too much. But overall I think we have talent and need to give the oline kids a chance to develop

At this stage, you have to play the kids and see if they have it. By all accounts the olinemen suck in this draft anyway, so defensive need should align with BPA.

I've always heard that OG is the easiest position on the OL to fill late in draft or FA, wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to draft one in the 1st, with our highest pick since Luck

We need a run mauler if we do go guard.

I would like to see us go after Larry Warford in free agency

My only point about selecting an O-Lineman anywhere early would be my most likely scenario where someone that the Colts graded as a low 1st round OT was available with their 2nd round pick and they felt like the kid was a plug and play starter at RT.

Or, the Colts trade down to lower in the first round, pick up extra 2nd/3rd/4th round picks and then select one of those OTs whom they think is an immediate starter.

We don't need more guys on the O-Line. Between Reitz, Good, Haeg and Clark, we have a lot of guys that might end up being anywhere from NFL average to NFL good. We need (perhaps) better guys who come into the top of the depth chart, are day one starters (like Ryan Kelly) and can turn into NFL great in a year or two.

Great Breakdown of Dalvin Cook. Brett Kollmann knows his football.

I still would like to go defense with our first pick, but im listening...

Cook is a little light in the pants, but man is he dynamic.

Stop it. You know better.

If the new GM goes rb in round 1 he's no better than old GM.....unless he gets 3 starters on defense in FA......THEN he can do whatever he wants
