46. The Indianapolis Colts offense is explosive behind QB Andrew Luck, T.Y. Hilton and Phillip Dorsett. So it is a must that they build defense a that can protect the leads Luck gives them. The first thing you build in that case is the pass defense so opposing QBs can’t keep up with Luck. <p>And of course, everything starts up front so putting some kind of heat on the passer is the big priority. Dwight Freeney has been gone a long time and Robert Mathis is on life support. So the Indianapolis Colts would be wise to take an edge-rusher here at No. 15 overall. .</p> <p>Lucas Oil Stadium was made for explosive edge-rushers with the advantage because of the crowd noise. So the Colts use the No. 15 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, to select Tim Williams. His get-off and burst reminds this writer of legendary OLB Derrick Thomas.</p> <p>With that kind of get-off mixed with the crowd noise, it will be a nightmare for opposing QBs and OTs there. The Colts have owned the AFC South for years now and it may change hands this year. But with Williams and an improved defense, the Colts would be a threat to take it back in 2017.</p>. OLB. Alabama. Tim Williams. 15. player
