The Colts are due for a makeover at linebacker. Not only were they vulnerable over the middle of the field in coverage last year, but the lack of playmaking at the second level was clear. Just one Colts linebacker (Germaine Pratt) ranked among the team’s top-10 highest-graded defensive players according to PFF, and he’s set to be a free agent. Franklin had the worst PFF grade of his career and was marked for career-worsts in overall grade, run defense, coverage, tackling, missed tackle rate, and stops.
