This past offseason the Colts cut offensive guard Ryan Lilja with hopes of improving the offensive line. Well things didn’t quite go as planned Lilja signed with the Kansas City Chiefs and helped them lead the league in rushing while the Colts finished 29th overall. Center Jeff Saturday isn’t getting any younger and this offensive line lacks toughness when it comes to running the ball, which is why the Colts should take a chance and draft Mike Pouncey from the University of Florida.

At 6’5” and 305 lbs., the brother of Maurkice Pouncey who was a standout rookie for the Pittsburgh Steelers shows similar toughness to his brother and did a great job opening holes for the Gator running backs. While watching games of his this year I noticed was he moved around a lot, he would do a good job of sealing his guy away from the play then moving into the linebackers to lay some blocks. Pouncey was very effective from the center position and also played some guard while his brother was still at Florida.

2011 NFL Draft Prospectus: Indianapolis Colts options at 22 – offensive line - Naptown's Finest - Naptown's Finest - An Indianapolis Colts Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

]]> The 2011 NFL Draft could become one of the most dissected in the history of the game. If the owners and Players’ Association cannot agree on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement before the Draft, teams will be seriously handicapped with their ability to trade players and picks, meaning this spring’s Draft could be the lightest on trades and heaviest on criticism ever.

Indianapolis selects 22nd overall; selecting in the 20s is nothing new for Colts management. This year’s options could help the Colts a great deal, and the CBA keeping teams from jumping in front of the Colts could make their Draft more comfortably predictable.

But then again, what NFL Draft is ever predictable?
