Ahead of the start of free agency, Insider is providing buyer's guides for all 32 teams: biggest need positions from Football Outsiders, top targets from KC Joyner and Matt Williamson and predictions on how everything will play out from our NFL Nation team reporters.

Included below are links to every team's article. This is the entry for the Indianapolis Colts.

Biggest needs

1. Defensive line: The Colts were average at best on the defensive line in 2014, finishing 24th by adjusted line yards. One starting end, Ricky Jean-Francois has already been released. The other, Cory Redding, is scheduled to be a free agent. Neither made the play on more than 7 percent of run plays against the team or had more than 3.5 sacks. An active pass-rusher and run stopper would help improve the defense.
