I don't understand the thought behind the Indy comments (i.e. Leshore post) and Delone Carter going so high. Addai will be back in a Colts uniform. He may not be a good fantasy RB but he fits the Colts system very well. The Colts don't need a 100yd/gm RB. The Colts have a larger need for a top-notch pass blocking RB who can catch the ball, and Addai IMO is arguably the best in the game when it comes to pass protection. He picks up blocks well and Manning loves it. Just look at the times Brown and Hart played. They may have run for more yards than Addai, but Manning found himself hurried or on his backside more often when Brown or Hart were in at RB on pass plays.
The Colts offense revolves around Manning and effective blocking for him. Addai fits this role to a T. The biggest problem the Colts have had the last two seasons has been the offensive line (Glenn's retirement killed the line and Manning's blind-side) which the Colts FINALLY addressed this draft with Castonzo and Ijalana...the problem wasn't at RB.
Carter has good pass protection skills but he only had 8 receptions last year (not quite the pass catching checkdown Manning prefers). I think Carter is at least 3 years away from being a potential starter in the Colts system. The offense is so complex it will take him time to learn. IMO, Carter was picked for additional depth at RB and to potentially give Addai a breather in pass protection downs.

... but I'd gladly eat crow too.
