30. Indianapolis Colts
Last week: 29th
It’s time for the Colts to just have a little bit of a fire sale.
Holding onto players like Jonathan Taylor won’t help this team long-term. At 2-7 after yet another disappointing loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the Colts have proven they are in need of a complete rebuild this offseason.
I would guess, at this point, that Shane Steichen won’t be around to witness any sort of turnaround. However, the Colts currently need more draft capital. They don’t have a 1st-round pick, and the 2026 quarterback class is really starting to show a little something. At this rate, the Colts are going to be giving a top-3 pick and a chance at QB1 in this year’s class to the Jets for Sauce Gardner.
They have completely mismanaged and misinterpreted their window. It’s time to get what you can for Jonathan Taylor, rebuild this offseason, and hope you can parlay some picks into a quarterback.
29. Miami Dolphins
Last week: 31st
The Miami Dolphins once again gave another NFL team a really good fight. The Detroit Lions legitimately have one of the best and most dangerous offenses in the NFL, and the Dolphins held them to just 19 points.
Unfortunately, they could only score 9 points themselves.
Malik Willis was playing through a groin injury, and that became abundantly clear over the course of the game.
There are so many ways you see this team really close. For instance, they held the Lions to 3-of-12 on 3rd downs…Excellent. Then they allowed the Lions to go 4-for-4 on 4th downs…Not excellent. They held the Lions to just 1-of-4 in their red zone trips…Excellent. They were 0-for-3 in their own red zone trips…Not excellent.
I’m going to continue beating the drum that Jeff Hafley is building something.
