The 2008 NFL Draft is in the books, and I'm excited to see how the Colts' rookies will perform this season. Bill Polian is definitely a smart president, so I definitely trust his judgement. Since the Colts traded away this year's first round pick for tackle Tony Ugoh after the surprising retirement of Tarik Glenn, the first pick for 2008 went in the second round at #59 to center Mike Pollak from Arizona State. He'll hopefully be able to bolster the O-Line after the departure of guard Jake Scott, who I was never a big fan of. Philip Wheeler, the linebacker out of Georgia Tech, was the 93rd selection in the 3rd round. He looks like another small speed kind of guy the Colts like at linebacker, let's hope he stays healthy! Another draft pick of note was definitely Mike Hart, the running back from Michigan in the 6th round at pick #202. If he makes it through the preseason, Hart may be able to provide some much needed round support for Addai, maybe 10 touches a game. I'm a strong believer that if the Colts keep more of their plays on the ground that they are a more successful team.
