3. Indianapolis Colts: Greg Little, Ole Miss, OT

They have Andrew Luck back, but the rest of the Indianapolis Colts offense is a mess. There’s nobody else on offense besides T.Y. Hilton that defenses truly have to worry about. And with that being the case, he can be game planned against to minimize the damage done since no one else will step up and win one-on-one battles.

They did try and get better this past season by adding guard Quenton Nelson out of Notre Dame. Nelson was considered to be the best overall talent outside of Saquon Barkley by several scouts and should become a dominant guard for the Colts. Now, they get a guy who can become an elite tackle  — which they need in order to prevent any future injuries to Luck.

Greg Little out of Ole Miss is the choice and he’s an absolute load for defenders to try and get past. Listed at 6-6 and 325 pounds, Little and Trey Adams have been the top-ranked tackles for a while, but back surgery for Adams makes Little the top player. It could also lead to Adams waiting to enter the draft after an injury ended his 2017 season as well.

For the Colts, this continues an extremely necessary rebuild of what was a very poor offensive line.
