11. Indianapolis Colts- Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida State

Tarvarus McFadden has two traits that are highly coveted in the NFL. He has excellent size for the position and has a knack for creating turnovers. Every defensive coordinator is looking for bigger cornerbacks who can get takeaways.

The Indianapolis Colts are one of those teams that have a major need at the cornerback position. They have relied heavily on Vontae Davis in recent years, but need to get him some help. McFadden would represent a major upgrade.

It’s also important to note that Davis has struggled with injuries in recent seasons.

Indianapolis did a nice job this past offseason adding some solid pieces on defense. Finding a playmaker at the cornerback position would help this unit take another step.

The Colts have plenty of other needs on the defensive side of the ball. They could potentially target a defensive lineman, linebacker and a pass rusher. Someone like LSU’s Arden Key would be a great addition.

Ohio State’s Sam Hubbard would be an interesting fit along the defensive line. He’s a versatile player who is stout against the run but can still get pressure on the quarterback. Hubbard’s versatility also means he can fit multiple schemes.
