Sean Baca

With the thirty second pick in the 2007 NFL Draft the Indianapolis Colts SHOULD take David Harris , LB, Michigan

Cato June has left the building and that hole needs to be filled along with a few other on the defensive side of the ball. They could go with Harrell for size, McCauley to replace Jason David (free agent) or Harris for June with this pick. They need some punch in the defensive front seven and Harris who is quick can deliver a hit as well.

Harris is a caged lion on the field and would help bolster the new found aggression on the defense. After a Super Bowl win it's sometimes hard to know where to start in the draft but for the Colts I think the SHOULD continue to feed the beast that actually got them their rings, Defense.

Marc Faletti

With the 32nd pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts SHOULD select Tanard Jackson, CB, Syracuse.

Jackson's a run-stuffing corner who also loves to go get the ball. He may not stay with the burners every time, but in Indy's Cover 2, that's not a requirement.

Harper and David are gone, meaning the Colts are short 2 starting corners. Fortunately, Jackson can start from day 1, and his exceptional physicality sets him apart from Texas' Aaron Ross in my mind.

The Colts may use their top 2 picks on CBs, and they could do a lot worse than Tanard Jackson with the first one.

Cecil Lammey

With the 32nd pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts SHOULD take Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee Volunteers.

Yes, it's another DT. It's also another Volunteer to the Colts in the 1st round. However, this time it's at the end of the first instead of at the very beginning. The Colts were victorious in SB XLI, and if they'd like to continue winning trophies they need to shore up the defensive line once and for all.

Justin Harrell is an instinctive player that knows how to get to the QB. His athleticism helps him stop the run either by penetrating, or running sideline to sideline. He has great closing burst and can run down many plays from behind. Injuries are a slight concern, but he has proven that he can play through them before.

Sigmund Bloom

With the 32nd pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts SHOULD take Steve Smith, WR, USC.

The Colts have a glaring need at WR and only one pick in the first 90 picks. There is tremendous value at WR through the first two rounds, but the Colts will miss out if they don't use this pick on a wideout, and the pick should be Steve Smith.

Smith won't leave anyone in his dust, or outleap them, or outmuscle them. Good thing he won't need to Indy. He runs perfect routes with impeccable hands, and will be able to perfect his craft with Marvin Harrison setting the tone. Three WR sets with Harrison, Wayne, and Smith will strike fear in the hearts of opposing defensive coordinators. .
