Ranking every NFL team’s offensive supporting cast post-draft

15. Indianapolis Colts

RB: Jonathan Taylor, Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins (23/25)

The Colts already had an impressive group of players in their backfield before the draft, with Mack being the between the tackles runner, Hines playing as the passing-down specialist, and Wilkins being the goal-line back. Now, they add one of the best collegiate rushers we’ve seen since Saquon Barkley who was the consensus rookie running back by many. The Colts have one of the deepest backfields in the league.

WR: T.Y. Hilton, Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell, Zach Pascal (19/25)

T.Y. Hilton is getting up there in age, but he’s still a great deep threat and reliable No. 1 option for Philip Rivers. Pittman and Campbell are still unknowns, but they have the potential to break-out with a high volume passer like Rivers at the helm. Both players were second-round picks by this regime and present a lot of upside. Further down the roster, Zach Pascal and Marcus Johnson showed some promise as depth players near the season’s end.

TE: Jack Doyle, Trey Burton, Mo Alie-Cox (18/25)

This tight end group is underwhelming. Jack Doyle is a nice safety blanket for Rivers, but he’s slow and unlikely to show improvement any time soon. Burton was cut by the Bears after two failed seasons and Cox is a raw, yet intriguing developmental player. This group is “fine,” but they are nothing to get excited about.

Offensive Line: Anthony Castonzo, Quenton Nelson, Ryan Kelly, Mark Glowinski, Braden Smith (24/25)

The Colts have the best offensive line in the league, without question. They only gave up 32 sacks last season despite having a backup quarterback play the entire year. If I was going to give a perfect grade to any unit, it would be this one.

Total Score:  84/100

Summary: Rivers won’t have as good of a receiving core as he had in Los Angeles, but his offensive line will be much improved. If Rivers can cut down on his poor decision making and turnovers, this Colts offense can be dangerous next season.
