46. . RB. LSU. Leonard Fournette. 11. player

The Indianapolis Colts have so many holes that they really should look somewhere else besides running back. However, if LSU star Leonard Fournette falls to No. 11 (which I don’t think he will), the Colts would be crazy not to swipe him up. Also, I’m not entirely sure that Ryan Grigson is gone after this season (even though he definitely should be), and we all know how much Grigson loves to take skill players.

Fournette is the complete package and quite simply everything you’re looking for in an NFL running back. At 6’1” and 235 pounds, he has a unique blend of size, speed and aggressiveness to help him pick up yards in huge chunks.

With Frank Gore likely done after this season, the Colts will need a legitimate threat behind Andrew Luck moving forward. Fournette could have the potential to be the Edgerrin James to Luck’s Peyton Manning, and that would at least get Colts fans excited about the ensuing season.
