Don't overlook Dan Moore at running back. Should be a great addition to the roster. Give him the ball!

You're right, I forgot to put fullback.  My mad.  I insert fullback on the list and include Havili and Moore. 

I've looked at our roster and have looked over other rosters in the league,  There are some surprisingly strong rosters out there , some with "Mega Talent" all up and down their rosters.  I'm not sure why the Colts couldn't bolster the roster with bigger names in the off-season but Grigson did what he could with what was available at the time --- he also missed a few gems (Welker), and many others.

If we got Welker our receiving corps would be unstoppable but yes there were some big name players Grigson decided not to go after.  He probably would have given them bigger contracts than he did with the players he did sign.

On paper, no this roster is not the best.  I want it to be, and if we can "overachieve" again, the unit as a whole can be the best.  But duplicating last year's efforts with this roster is going to be next to impossible.  Colts this year have too many young players with too much to prove for it to be considered the best.

I see where you are coming from but if everyone that is starting performs to expectations we have a very good starting rotation but yes the backups need to prove themselves as football players.  But I see what you mean, because the Colts do have a lot of inexperienced players but they have the potential to be good or very good.  But yes this teams needs to play even better than what they are capable of to be the best.  Maybe with the next few years they can be considered the best depending on free agency and the draft and development of players.    

I look at it like this. Offense: Great QB, great TEs, very good receiving corps, solid running back corps, but the offensive line still needs work.  If Holmes and Thornton turn out to be solid starters, we still have zero depth on the line.  Defense: Makings of a very good secondary, but little depth at the CB position.  Lb corps could use another big body on the inside, and another pass rusher outside.  The D-line is improved but still a work in progress and about 2 players away from being good.  The best thing going for the Colts is the large amout of franchise players we have that are young. (Luck, Ballard, Hilton, Allen, Fleener, Castanzo, Vontae, Champan, Werner)  We may not be in the discussion for best roster in the NFL, but in my opinion no one has a better core of young talent than we do.  COLTS!!!!!!!!!

Yes I see where you are coming from and we might have the best potential among young talent.  If our young talent develops very well and we find solid backups to add depth (O-line, D-Line, Cornerbacks, at least one more good pass rusher) we could be the best roster like you said.  I think in a few years we will be at that point of being one of the best rosters if we develop our young talent into great backups and starters.  Next year's draft we should focus on the offensive and defensive lines but go cornerback in the 1st or 2nd round.

I agree...also have to keep in the back of our minds drafting Reggie's heir apparent.  Even if DHB turns out to be really good, he still is best utilized as a #2 WR, and Hilton is such a nightmare in the slot.

As soon as Reggie retires which should be in two years Grigson will find a good wide receiver through the draft.  Grigson as done well so far, so I trust him to complete the roster and make it the best.  The Colts have fixed a lot of holes in the roster and will complete the finishing touches in the next few years.  By that time we will be legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
