4. Kareem Jackson, Cornerback

There is a good chance that Ryan Grigson will look to make a move at the cornerback position, and Houston Texans cornerback Kareem Jackson would be a perfect fit for them. Greg Toler has been playing opposite Vontae Davis, but the addition of Jackson would give them some options with Toler.

Due to the fact that Toler has yet to play up to his potential, the Colts could cut him and save $5 million. If they chose not to, they could have all three corners playing alongside of each other.

Jackson is coming off of a solid season with the Texans, and racked up 57 tackles to go along with three interceptions and nine defensed passes. At 26 years of age, he would fit in perfectly with the direction that the Colts are heading in and would be a big addition to the defense. The Colts could look at cheaper options like Davon House or Kyle Wilson, but Jackson would be the much better pickup.

It is going to be an interesting offseason at the cornerback position, but the Colts do need to make a move to improve their secondary.
