The top of the list can probably be arranged in a slightly different order between cornerback, wide receiver and safety. Edge rusher isn't necessarily a massive need, but the Colts are always looking for talent to add to the pass rush.

  1. Cornerback
  2. Wide Receiver
  3. Edge Rusher
  4. Safety
  5. Tight End
  6. Running Back
  7. Linebacker
  8. Backup Quarterback
  9. Offensive Tackle

  11. Interior Defensive Line
  12. Punter
