46. <p>Trent Richardson, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Frank Gore have all had their shot at being the running back to finally replace Marshall Faulk, and all have failed for one reason or another.</p> <p>Andrew Luck struggled in the little playing time he saw last season, and one of the biggest reason was opposing pass rushers pinning their ears and rushing the third year quarterback with constant success.</p> <p>Obviously the Colts need an upgrade on the offensive line, and could use another wide receiver to compliment T.Y. Hilton, but with the only prospects available at this point in the draft being big reaches, a strong fearless running back with the field vision to make his line look better than it is, is exactly what the Colts need here.</p>.
