The Indianapolis Colts made a few new free agent additions and also re-signed some of their own free agents on Friday.
The new additions were at the safety position, with the Colts signing Juanyeh Thomas and Jonathan Owens.
If we are going to continue to see the Colts add to their roster on Saturday, who are the best available players still out there?
Focusing on positions that the Colts should still be looking to address, here are Pro Football Focus’ best available free agents heading into Saturday.
Best available free agent defensive ends on Day 6
What’s the need? The Colts have added to the depth of this unit, signing Clemons and Arden Key. However, those additions addressed the Colts’ rotational need at the position. Adding a high-end defensive end to pair with Laiatu Latu would be quite valuable.
Best available free agent linebackers on Day 6
What’s the need? This room is short on experience after trading Zaire Franklin. Jaylon Carlies, who has played just over 200 career defensive snaps, is the most experienced player on the Colts roster at this position.
Best available free agent tight ends on Day 6
What’s the need? The Colts re-signed Drew Ogletree, but adding to this room should still be on the to-do list. Ogltree has been the Colts’ third tight end option in recent seasons. Depth and another blocking presence are needed.
Best available free agent interior offensive lineman on Day 6
What’s the need? The Colts’ starting offensive line may be on the roster already, but this unit is short on experienced depth.
Best available free agent wide receivers on Day 6
What’s the need? I doubt we see the Colts spend much, if anything, at wide receiver, but without Pittman, this unit could use an addition. However, my guess is that Chris Ballard accomplishes that in the draft.
