A year after allowing an NFL-worst 56 sacks in 2017, the Colts allowed an NFL-best 18 in 2018.

I repeat: The Indianapolis Colts allowed the fewest sacks in football this year. What a turnaround for that group.

draft a pro bowl guard and a starting tackle in the first 2 rounds, can fix an o line real quick

They really can't be seriously considering bringing him in can they?

9. Buffalo Bills

The Pick: Offensive Tackle Jonah Williams, Alabama

There is debate among NFL scouts about what position best fits Alabama's Jonah Williams. Some believe he's too light (6'5", 301 lbs) and short-armed to play left tackle and picture him inside at guard or center. Others see his technique and don't care that he's around 305 pounds.

The Buffalo Bills shouldn't worry about which position he'll play because Williams has the tools to be dominant wherever he lines up.

Whether it's at left guard, right tackle, center or even left tackle, Williams has excellent instincts, reaction time, quickness and footwork. He's a finished product as an NFL blocker thanks to three seasons of starts at Alabama playing both left and right tackle.

With Josh Allen looking like a viable franchise quarterback, it's time to build up the offensive line to protect him.

I would try to trade down to the mid to late teens

Draft a OT sign a guard in FA

Draft Anthony Johnson from UB in round 2

Going to be very interesting where he plays.... if they put him between those two they should just send him back down now.
- gordong

i sure hope he plays with something more offensively capable in the 2nd or 3rd line role.. if they are bumping okposo back to the 4th that should open up a spot up there for CJ..

They are going to have a tough time replacing him in the locker room

They need a big time target and Johnson is that, if he would have been healthy this year he would have been a first rounder

Between free agency and the draft (10 picks) they should be able to fill a bunch of these holes

Part of the reason he wasn't healthy (Luck) is his O-Line was awful and he was getting hit almost every drop back

yes very true, that is why they drafted the way they did.. but he played all or almost all of 2016 injuried... then Jacoby last year wasn't a throwing threat.

Colts are gonna be good again

Reich is doing wonders, a healthy Luck, a good OL, and a solid defense!

They need another top flight receiver and a few tweaks on the defense they could be very good..

Take them as a SB winner this off season with the good odds. Hell i might even take them this year. If they have a decent draft and a few FA pick ups they can be really dangerous. Their biggest downfall for years was the atrocious O-Line....
