Colts' Draft Focus: Edge Rusher After Greenard Stays

0:00On March 30th, the Indianapolis Colts are hunting for a top pass rusher, but their veteran options vanished fast after free agency. Their biggest target, Minnesota Vikings' defensive end, Jonathan Greenard, looks locked in with his current team. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell made it clear at the NFL annual meeting this week, saying he expects Greenard to stick around. Earlier, Minnesota fielded trade calls to ease cap pressure, but nothing happened, and talks continued through the offseason. Greenard turns 29 in May, coming off a down year with three sacks due to a shoulder issue, but he dropped quarterbacks for 12 sacks in, each of the two prior seasons. He wants a massive new deal of traded, pushing toward 30 million a year like recent free agent stars. Colts owner, Carly Urce Gordon, stressed a defensive line as their top priority at the meetings, pointing to strong draft chances to fill the gap. The free agency done, Indy Shiff's focused there while keeping an eye on surprised trades.

1:00Expect the Colts to load up in the draft for that edge rush boost, building around young guys like Lyatu Latu to turn their defense into a real, threat next season.
