Gimme Him: One player Colts would steal from Rams

The Indianapolis Colts (2-1) are hosting the Los Angeles Rams (1-2) on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium for what should be a competitive Week 4 matchup.

In a hypothetical scenario, the Colts Wire staff can “steal” one player that sheds light on depth needs or talent upgrades for the Colts.

This week’s selection as the Colts host the Rams: DL Aaron Donald.

There’s not much that needs to be said about Donald that hasn’t already been said. He’s a future Hall-of-Famer with three Defensive Player of the Year awards to his name to go along with seven All-Pro First Team and nine Pro Bowl selections.

Despite the fact that he’s 32 years old, Donald is still wreaking havoc on opposing offenses. He entered Week 4 second in the NFL in total pressures (14) and third in pass rush win rate (25.3%) among qualified interior defenders, according to Pro Football Focus.

Even if it was just for one season, having Donald line up on the same front that also included DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart and Kwity Paye would be a sight to see.

Other players considered included guard Steve Avila and wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

Do you agree, Colts fans? Would you pick Donald or steal an entirely different Los Angeles Rams player?
