PrintI've had a lot of fun researching the draft and building the Colts roster, so I'm combining those into all rookie team. These are all rookies that are not top 20 picks (since nearly everyone loves those guys) and I wish the Colts could have.
The Starting Line-up the number beside the name is their value on the NFL Draft Value Chart
QB-Brian Brohm 340
TB/WR-Chris Johnson 720
RB/FB-Matt Forte 460
Goalline FB-Jacob Hester*
TE-Brad Cottam 210
WR-Earl Bennet 240
WR-Andre Caldwell 112
Slot-Jacob Tamme*
LT-Chad Rinehart 116
LG-Mike Pollak 310
C-Kory Lichtensteiger 86
RG-Jeremey Zuttah 175
RT-John Greco 265
LE-Quinton Groves 380
NT-Trevor Laws 430
UT-Jason Jones 360
RE-Cliff Avril 132
Rush End-Marcus Howard*
WLB-Geno Hayes 21.4
MLB-Xavier Adibi 58
SLB-Phillip Wheeler 128
CB-Antonie Cason 680
CB-Brandon Flowers 550
NB-Jack Williams
FS-Craig Sletz 54
SS-Charles Godfrey 255
K-Taylor Mehlhaff
P-Durant Brooks
LS-Tyler Schmitt
*=Situational guy
According to the standard NFL pick value chart, for the cost of Jake Long and a mid-5th round pick a team could have the entire starting O (starting 11 without the situational players.
Instead of Chris Long and Jordan Dizon (pick #45 OLB) A team could trade back and draft the entire starting defense of my all-rookies-I-like team.
Some comments/info on the players (offense is done), the backups and whether you can get all these players for the trade chart value a single top pick is in progress.
The stuff that's done is here . I'll add it to this post when I'm totally finished.

SLB-Phillip Wheeler
Is he really that good, or is it more on the homer side?
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Not the best rookies necessarily
But the ones that fit with the Colts and that I like. Wheeler’s good. He was the ninth LB taken overall, before Adibi and Hayes.

Added the draft chart value and compared to the Longs
Which would you rather have if you were a bad team, a Long and change or an entire starting unit of very good rookies?

Rookies
I’d take the starting unit of very good rookies. You’ll have a young team that will grow together.
