Analysis

The Colts are moving a lot of pieces around the board. The organization has more confidence than many observers that they are close to a Super Bowl run. With a mega talent like RB Jonathan Taylor, they’re off to a good start. QB Carson Wentz wasn’t the answer last year, so they bring in QB Matt Ryan. Older, sure, but everyone says if you set him up to succeed he will. QB-backup extraordinaire Nick Foles is around just in case. DE Ngakoue brings pass rush and CB Gilmore will replace what was lost with the departing CB Ya-Sin.

Prediction: 2nd in division. Elder statesman QB Matt Ryan makes you nervous as the signal caller, but there’s talent on this team, and backup QB Nick Foles can pick up the slack if Ryan folds.
