Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
The Colts need an offensive line that can protect Peyton Manning and get the defensive lineman hands down. In this past season Peyton had his worst year since his rookie season and I attribute it a lot to the offensive line and also injuries around him. I previously had Nate Solder (2011 NFL Mock Draft #2 OT) as a top 10 talent in this 2011 NFL Mock Draft but because of his inability to keep weight on I have him falling a little bit. The reason I worry about his weight is because I don’t think he will be a very good run blocker if he doesn’t have substantial mass. However, in this offseason all you really need to be able to do is pass block and I think that Solder is the top pass blocking OT in this 2011 NFL Mock Draft and I believe Solder will be Peyton’s new best friend.
