2011 NFL Mock Draft: Indianapolis Goes In A Different Direction At No. 22

Indianapolis Opts To Upgrade Their Running Game With Alabama's Mark Ingram At No. 22

When the story of the 2010 Indianapolis Colts is written it will be called "The Lost Boys." This team lost so many players to injury last year that it's not even funny. Yet, despite all that turnover, they were able to win the AFC South once again.

The Colts do have a need at the offensive line, but the Colts will go in a different direction with their first-round pick.

This team also needs help at running back because Joseph Addai has been a bust, and with Mark Ingram still sitting on the board here they won't be able to resist the temptation to bring him into the fold. His 40-yard dash time wasn't impressive (4.6 seconds), but he is a physical back who isn't afraid to take on defenders.

Look for the Colts to bypass an offensive lineman and go with Mark Ingram when they make their first pick.
