Tedric Thompson

Safety, Colorado

The Colts have an excess of fourth round picks, and in a deep class, they have to make them count. The Colts drafted T.J. Green in round two last season, but he has looked like a complete project. Thompson has some grooming to do, but as a deep cover one or cover three safety, Thompson has a skill set that can translate to the NFL. Thompson can move sideline to sideline. He also has a great knack for reading quarterbacks and making plays on the ball. At the worst, Thompson is a special teams player. At best, he can start next season. It is worth the shot.

D.J. Jones

Nose Tackle, Ole Miss

David Parry has off of the field questions now combined with his on the field questions. Hasson Ridgeway saw some time as a rookie, but either way, this team needs depth on the defensive line. Jones brings that, and while he is mainly a nose, he can play a couple of spots on the line.

Dan Skipper

T, Arkansas

Skipper is a depth name worth taking a shot on in the fifth round. He can push for playing time at right tackle, but at the worst, this team now has a complete group of offensive lineman.
