31. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Brian Price, DT, UCLA
DTs Antonio Johnson and Daniel Muir performed well last season, but neither are a match for Price. A 6-foot-3, 300-pound former Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year, Price showed flashes of brilliance while at UCLA. He turns just 21 in April, and has a world of upside. Perhaps not an opening-day starter, Price could be the long-term fixture needed in the middle of Indy’s defensive line to divert at least some attention from ends Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney.
Mock Draft 4.0: Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Price’s Mock Draft 3.0 Placement: No. 31 to Indianapolis
C Maurkice Pouncey Florida Jr. 6-5 312
The Colts offensive line could use some youth, and Pouncey gives Indy an ideal replacement for Pro Bowl center Jeff Saturday, who has to be nearing the end of his long and superb run.
