46. . Wide Receiver. Iowa State. Hakeem Butler. 26. player

The Indianapolis Colts were one of the more exciting teams in football last season, as quarterback Andrew Luck proved he still has a lot left in the tank. Luck came back to the team after missing nearly two full seasons with a right shoulder injury, and finished second in the NFL with 39 touchdown passes.

Next season, the Colts should be the favorite in the AFC South, after adding so much talent to the offensive line in recent years. They went into free agency with the most money to spend, and while they have yet to make any splashy moves, you can be sure this team will be loaded when the season kicks off in September.

When it comes to the offensive side of the ball, they could afford to bring in more weapons for Luck, especially at wide receiver. T.Y. Hilton is a solid wideout, actually one of the best in the conference, but bringing in a player like Hakeem Butler with the No. 26 overall pick makes a lot of sense moving forward.

Butler is a dominating presence on the outside, and is the kind of guy who can really take the lid off a defense. He would be a deadly threat for Luck and this offense deep, and with Hilton making plays over the middle, a 40-50 touchdown season is not out of the cards for Luck this upcoming season.
