As the season kicks off in just a few weeks, each week, we’ll send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Colts fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.We are back with the SB Nation NFL FanPulse surveys as the Indianapolis Colts head into Week 2 of the 2019 preseason. The idea behind these surveys is to gain the avid fan’s feedback about their team, and to pass that on to the daily reader. There will be an additional FanPulse near the end of the preseason, and we will subsequently have one for each week of the 2019 regular season. The Indianapolis Colts have had an interesting offseason after finishing 10-6 and missing out on the AFC South crown in 2018. The Colts pulled in another very interesting, defensive heavy draft class, brought in a few key free agents on both sides of the ball, and will be featuring one of the most impressive head coaches from a year ago in his second season at the helm. Needless to say there are a host of intriguing avenues for the Colts to travel this season, and the fans are excited to see where this thing can go. As we head in to the second week of the 2019 preseason, the survey conducted two questions for each respected fan base:<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="6RQQ6d">How confident are you in the direction of the Colts?As you can clearly see, Colts fans have remained confident since the end of last season (98%), through free agency (96%), the pre-draft process (95%), and following the draft as well (98%). Now, with the Colts prepared for their second preseason game, fans remain confident at 94%.Naturally, the situation surrounding Andrew Luck may have something to do with the very slight dip as opposed to previous points in the offseason. Any way you look at it, the team’s fans remain excited about the team’s possibilities for the upcoming season. <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="rn9HkS">Which 2018 division winner is least likely to repeat in 2019?As you can see there were a few teams who don’t exactly inspire confidence from NFL fans nationally. Additionally, the New England Patriots Indianapolis Colts Customized Jerseys , Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Rams get the most confidence around the league with very little surprise to anyone. On the other hand, the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, and Houston Texans aren’t getting much love nationally, and rightly so.Specifically in reference to the Colts, the Texans’ draft wasn’t heralded, a real lack of confidence with their OL, and some front office issues just to name a few things causing concern for the franchise since last season. Additionally, the Colts have been rising nationally as real contenders for the upcoming season. It’s quite feasible that a hefty dose of these votes have come from Texans fans themselves as well as the other AFC South fan bases. This season, for a host of reasons, looks to be shaping up to be a very interesting one to say the least.

The Colts suffered from a considerable drop-off in production from receivers when leaving out Hilton and Ebron, so the need for a #2 receiver is evident." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesStampede Blue homepageHorizontal - WhiteStampede Bluean Indianapolis Colts communityFollow Stampede Blue online:Follow Stampede Blue on TwitterFollow Stampede Blue on FacebookLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchStampede Blue main menuFanpostsFanshotsColtsShopAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Colts StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Colts NewsYahoo Colts Team PageYahoo Colts ReportYahoo Colts Depth ChartYahoo Colts TransactionsYahoo Colts PhotosShop About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Breaking NewsAndrew Luck Retires×Why the Colts need to invest in a receiver early in the 2019 DraftNew,167commentsThe Colts suffered from a considerable drop-off in production from receivers when leaving out Hilton and Ebron, so the need for a #2 receiver is evident.EDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Why the Colts need to invest in a receiver early in the 2019 DraftTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by Peter Aiken/Getty ImagesThere is a common misconception that the Colts are already set at receiver. After signing Devin Funchess, and with Deon Cain back from injury, wide receiver is not considered a main need for Indy. However, taking a look at the numbers, there is a clear need for another weapon on the passing game to complement T.Y. Hilton and Eric Ebron. Colts Receivers#1 OptionsReceptionsTargetsCompletion%YardsYPATouchdownsTD Rate#1 OptionsReceptionsTargetsCompletion%YardsYPATouchdownsTD Rate*Inman is still a free-agent.#1 options are players with more than 100 targets, #2 options are player with more than 30The Colts have also failed to resign Dontrelle Inman thus far, and he was a key component down the stretch for the Colts passing offense, developing a nice connection with Andrew Luck.While Funchess can help solve many of the Colts issues’ and Deon Cain could become a valuable piece of the Colts passing attack, a true Super Bowl contender should not rely on areceiver that struggled with drops throughout his career and another one who has not played a down in the NFL and is coming off a torn ACL.This is why the Colts should select a wide receiver Indianapolis Colts T-Shirts , or two, early in the 2019 NFL Draft. Perhaps not with the first pick, but there are plenty of options in every round. If the Colts give Andrew Luck a solid complement of weapons, he could improve his level drastically and could very well torch the League with Pat Mahomes-type numbers.There are plenty of receivers in the draft that would be ideal fits for whatever the Colts want to do. Want a speedy receiver that can take the top off defenses next to T.Y? You have Parris Campbell, Mecole Hardman, Terry McLaurin, or Marquise Brown. Want to take a big, physical receiver that can help out Luck in the red-zone? Then you have N’Keal Harry, Kelvin Harmon, Myles Boykin, or Hakeem Butler. There are also some great slot receivers that should be available in the later rounds, like Penny Hart or Hunter Renfrow.While pass rushers and secondary help might seem like more pressing needs, let’s not forget that during the first 6 weeks, where the Colts went 1-5, one of the main issues was the drops of the receivers. Even though Luck can make any wideout look at least average, surrounding him with top tier talent would push the Colts offense to the next level. Additionally, an explosive passing offense would also open up plenty of holes for the running game. If the Colts put Hilton,Ebron, and another blue-chip prospect on the field, then opposing defenses will be unable to stack the box.In conclusion, I thinkthe Colts have to draft a receiver in the early rounds and could also take another one in the later ones, as it will push the offense to a different level and will result in Andrew Luck being a serious contender for the MVP award.
