Indianapolis Colts: Grade for 2011 NFL Draft picks

coltshel042611_optThe Indianapolis Colts addressed the most pressing need of upgrading the offensive line and protecting Peyton Manning, and did so with first round pick Anthony Castonzo of Boston College and second round pick Ben Ijalana out of Villanova. Got help in later rounds at defensive line in Drake Nevis of LSU and Chrus Rucker of Michigan State in the secondary. Castonzo falling to them in the first round is a steal. Got defensive help in later rounds. Addressed need, got value and no reaches.
