Why does the focus need to be on defense?
Saw this stat in a Colts.com article.....followed by but yet another mock draft predicting we pick RB Cook in the first round.

Don't worry, Jacksonville will take Cook long before we do.

we won't spend a #1 on a rb. Colts can grab a Jamaal Williams in the 4th or later, meanwhile drafting 3 starters on defense in the first 3 rounds. I don't care who (we pay guys for that) but Colts need new defensive blood.

Saw one saying the Colts would take McCaffrey round 1. Rejoice!

From the Colts.com mailbag:

BTW, this does not count Vontae Davis since he was not drafted by the Colts..... Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Antonie Bethea, drafted in the 6th round by the Colts in 2006 and re-signed to a veteran contract after 4 seasons in 2010. Let go at the end of that contract following the 2013 season. Only missed 5 games out of a possible 128 games in his 8 years in Indy; all within his rookie and 2nd season. Defensive players selected by the Colts following Bethea 2007 - 2014: 2007: CB Dante Hughes DT Quinn Pitcock SS Brannon Condren LB Clint Session FS Michael Coe DT Keyunta Dawson 2008: LB Phillip Wheeler DE Marcus Howard 2009: DT Fili Moala CB Jerraud Powers DT Terrence Taylor 2010: DE Jerry Hughes LB Pat Angerer CB Kevin Thomas DT Ricardo Matthews ILB Kavell Conner CB Ray Fisher 2011: DT Drake Nevis SS Chris Ruker 2012: NT Josh Chapman ILB Tim Fugger 2013: OLB Bjoern Werner DE Montori Hughes SS John Boyett 2014: OLB Jonathan Newsome ILB Andrew Jackson 26 guys, none of which earned a 2nd contract from the Colts. Perhaps we missed on a few guys like Phillip Wheeler, Jerraud Powers and Jerry Hughes but, overall, there was very little NFL talent there. 2015 picks of Henry Anderson, Clayton Geathers and David Parry are the next set of folks that might break this trend in actually having a Colts rookie draftee defender signed to a veteran NFL contract. We will see in 2019. Cheers,

Fixed it for you Colt Classic. If this is Ballard's 1st pick, then Irsay hired the wrong GM.

I guessed Bethea. He and Hayden are the last two that received second contracts here on defense. Most of that is due to the ineptitude of Chris Polian and Ryan Grigson. Hopefully Ballard reverses that trend.
