8 Teams That Totally Lost The NFL Draft

3. Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts boast some ridiculous offensive flair, with T.Y. Hilton hoping to cement a place among the league's elite this season, while they also have the best young quarterback in the game, Andrew Luck, firmly in their grasp. He is the man who will determine Indy's success over the next decade, but while he came of the draft as a big winner, his team might've missed some big opportunities. Luck has a new toy to play with in WR Phillip Dorsett, but with Hilton, Andre Johnson and Donte Moncrief on the roster, the Colts didn't need him. It's a forgone conclusion that they're going to walk the AFC South yet again, meaning that their entire season effectively boils down to another showdown with the Patriots running backs. Their two biggest needs were a run-stopper and somebody who will keep Andrew Luck on his feet. They didn't fill those needs until their last two picks in the sixth and seventh rounds. The Colts will obliterate teams, and the regular season should be great fun for their fans, but when it comes down to Super Bowl contention, the defence and O-line doesn't appear to be Lombardi-winning material.
