46. <p>The Indianapolis Colts had one of the more potent offensive attacks in the league last season. Andrew Luck led the NFL in touchdown passes, leading them to another AFC South title.</p> <p>One thing that isn’t too strong for the Colts is their ability to defend. Throughout the season they had countless problems stopping the opposing offenses, giving up point-totals of 51, 45, 42 (twice).</p> <p>In order to make a deeper run in the postseason, Indy must build their defense, particularly the secondary. More specifically, though, is the safety position. LaRon Landry is not the same player he used to be, and after him, there isn’t much there.</p> <p>Last season, Louisville safety Gerod Holliman tied the NCAA single-season record with 14 interceptions. His ability as a ball-hawking safety is something the Colts could use, as they had just 12 interceptions all of last season.</p>. Safety. Louisville. Gerod Holliman. 29. player

49. <p>The Green Bay Packers biggest issue last season was their inept ability to contain the run. Finishing 23rd in the league, the Packers must try to improve this heading into next season.</p> <p>Jordan Phillips is the type of player that Green Bay could use, as he would be best utilized in a 3-4 defensive scheme, which is what Dom Capers has the Packers running. He appears to be on the rise on many draft boards</p> <p>Phillips is surprisingly athletic for his size and can command a double team.</p>. Defensive Tackle. Oklahoma. Jordan Phillips. 30. player
