Way-too-early 53-man roster prediction for the Colts

Predicting the 53-man roster far too soon.

Tight End (3)

TE1 TE2 TE3
Jack Doyle Trey Burton Mo Alie-Cox

Analysis: There aren’t any surprises to this room other than what the order of the depth might be. The Colts will likely bring in some tight ends for camp, but this room is basically set. Doyle leads the way as the unquestioned leader. He’s one of the best blocking tight ends in the entire league and is a sneaky (albeit unspectacular) pass-catcher. He can work both in-line and flexed out. The order of depth will be debated. Burton gets the nod at TE2 because we know what he can do as a move tight end with Frank Reich. His snap count is likely to hover around that 35–40% range, working mostly as a receiving option. Alie-Cox will continue to develop his game both as a blocker and a receiver, but his assignments are mostly going to come by the former.

Notable cuts: Xavier Grimble
