3. Offensive Line help
Last year was a rather lucky season for the Colts. They had all of their offensive linemen start every game for the first time since 2001, and every starting lineman played at least 91% of the teams’ offensive snaps. Don’t expect that fruit of health to shine again in 2020.
Indianapolis lost two key rotational depth offensive lineman in free agency with Joe Haeg signing with the Buccanneers and Josh Andrews signing with the Jets. With Anthony Castonzo re-signing a two-year deal after mulling retirement much of the offseason, finding OL depth isn’t as dire as it seemed a few months ago.
With Ballard’s perplexity to trading back and perplexity of drafting OL don’t be surprised if Ballard trades back in the middle of the draft to acquire another pick or two and take at least one or two offensive linemen in this year’s draft.
