Two of the three best performances in the bench press were defensive tackles. Brandon Williams from Missouri Southern St. tied for the top spot in the bench press, with 38 reps. Williams was followed closely by another defensive tackle, Akeem Spence from Illinois, who put up the weight bar 37 times. The next-closest were two defensive tackles that both put up 33 reps.

One of the top prospects on the defensive line was unable to participate at the combine, and was asked to be sent home. Star Lotulelei, a defensive tackle from Utah was asked to withdrawal from the scouting combine, after doctors discovered an abnormality in his heart. There is no final diagnosis on the severity of the abnormality, but this discovery is at the least a setback for a top-ranked talent.

There were several top-performers in the bench press that were from the offensive line, led by guard Eric Herman from Ohio. Herman was tied for the fourth-highest production in the bench press, with 36 reps. There were also seven other offensive linemen that recorded over 30 reps in the bench press competition.

2013 was also a record-breaking year for offensive lineman in the 40-yard dash. Offensive tackle Terron Armstead from Arkansas-Pine Bluff set the all-time fastest 40-yard dash for an offensive lineman, with a 4.71 dash time. Armstead was the second lineman to break the dash record for his position this year. Lane Johnson, offensive tackle from Oklahoma, came in just behind Armstead, with a time of 4.72 in the 40-yard dash.

Offensive lineman are getting bigger and faster. The Colts have talent on their line, but they need consistency. If they can pick up another young player to put on their offensive line, then hopefully they can help mold him into helpful stability for the near future.

Several of the defensive backs who did workouts on Tuesday finished as top performers at the combine, which might make them all the more appealing to the Colts, who were burned often in the secondary last season, including a wild card playoff loss to the world champion Baltimore Ravens. Eight of the top fifteen fastest 40-yard dash times at the combine were from defensive backs, including the fifth-fastest 40, from cornerback Darius Slay from Mississippi St., who finished with a time 4.36 in the dash.

Several other safeties and cornerbacks led the combine in the vertical jump drills. Seven of the top ten vertical jumps were defensive backs. There was a five-way tie for the third-best vertical, at 40.5 inches, and all were defensive backs.

The Indianapolis Colts could definitely use some of these talents. They have been thin and abused at the defensive back position, and even their previous draft at those spots have not come to fruition. If the Colts decide to take a cornerback or a safety in the draft, very few would be surprised or upset.
