Colts Surprise Pick

The Indianapolis Colts surprised everyone on draft day when they took running back Donald Brown with their first round choice. The Colts already have a young productive back in Joseph Addai, although he had a down year last year partly due to his injury and lack of play on the offensive line. Donald Brown has great talent and went probably around where he should have, but no one would have guessed he would end up in Indy. Most teams now a days have more than one running back, but usually the backs compliment each other. Brown and Addai are both similar style runners and posses the same assets. The Colts could have used a lot of help on their defensive and maybe should have gone with a defensive linemen. Although it is hard to argue with an organization that has done so much through the draft over the last decade. It should be interesting to see how much time Brown gets this year and if Addai will bounce back.
