Jihad Ward could be the answer the Colts are looking for at defensive tackle

Defensive tackle was probably the biggest position of need the Colts had entering the off-season. In free-agency, the Colts were expected to go after big names like Ndamukong Suh or Sheldon Richardson, but they signed no one at the position. Then the Draft came and the Colts were expected to invest an early pick in a defensive tackle, on a guy like Jerry Tillery or Dexter Lawrence, but then again, no defensive tackle was added to the roster. This leaves the Colts with four options at defensive tackle as of today: Margus Hunt, Tyquan Lewis, Denico Autry, and Jihad Ward.
