Story summary

The Indianapolis Colts have added eight players through free agency but still have roster gaps before the NFL draft.
Key areas needing improvement include linebacker, where Jaylon Carlies is the most experienced player, and offensive line depth, which lacks experience behind starters.
The wide receiver position is thin following Michael Pittman's departure, and competition for the RB2 role behind Jonathan Taylor is essential.
The Colts signed Juanyeh Thomas and Jonathan Owens to compete for strong safety, but they still need a high-impact player at defensive end.
