My grading scheme is based on 5 components that either make or break an off-season, which are:
- Covering holes
- Retaining players
- Avoiding scandals
- Salary cap management
- Coaching/Management changes
Covering Holes: B+
Despite finishing the season on a 9-1 run, and defeating the Texans in the Wild Card game, the Colts roster still had its fair share of holes. The primary need for the Colts entering the off-season was pass-rush, followed by adding receiving depth and some help in the secondary.
