Phil B on team needs

3.) Safety — As much as the Colts probably hated to do it, they had to release Bob Sanders. While most of us think re-signing Melvin Bullitt is a must, I can’t help but think the Colts could use another healthy, young body back there to play such an important position. Sanders basically showed me just how important a safety can be on a defense. And then he got hurt, couldn’t stay healthy, collected $20 million for doing basically nothing and showed me how big contracts are a crap shoot and you just never know if you will get the value you expect. Antoine Bethea has been rock solid. Bullitt is a decent fill-in, reliable, but I wouldn’t put him in the category of Bethea or Sanders. And in the NFL, you’re looking for game changers every draft.
