Colts didn't draft well enough for much improvements. Their first 2 picks where good. But after that was just roster depth players. Maybe starters in 3-4 seasons.



at least they drafted a bunch of ol's which was the biggest point to improve should give luck hopeful more time to play like he should. Ridgeway (4th rounder) could be nice a bunch of people agree that he could be a 1st or 2nd round pick if he had stayed one more year at Texas. Clark made a good job in blocking as far as i have seen and in the colts OL this could mean a insant starter combined with kelly should help very well xD
But they did nothing for there pass rush and a 2nd good CB is still missing aswell as a player who replace Freeman this could be pretty bad there Offense has to carry the defense once again then everything is possible.

I hope the colts will win the AFC south but the texans and the jax could be pretty annoying there jax had good improvments in draft & FA if they stay heathly they could make a playoff run this should be at least way way way more interesting then the last couple of years. I go with luck



Don't forget that this Clemson 2nd-rounder is described as a player with th eversatilyty to play CB (at 6 foot 2)
since this year's starting SF duo is clearly announced : Adams & geathers;w e have vontae at CB1, P.Rob at CB2/nickel, D.Butler as a nickel corner, so TJ.Green will be able to play roughly everywhere in the secondary ! (#DefenseVersatility)

Doubtful. Texans just sneaked past them last season with no QB, a broken RB and only 1 WR. Now Texans have a QB, a good RB and 2x WRs. The Colts haven't done enough to "improve" compared to the Texans.

Although the whole division I think will be up for grabs. I think the Jags and Titans will be vastly improved over last season. And I think the Colts have been found snoozing on their opposition.



The Texans still have plenty of question marks on offense with all the changes they made, and JJ Watt has been limited by injuries pretty often (not as much as J.Clowney, though)

The Texans only main concern on offense is Osweiler at QB, but even he has to be considered an upgrade based on last year!

I'd hardly say Watt has been limited by injuries; he's played every single game in the last 5 seasons since being drafted and managed to put up 17.5 sacks in the 2015 season... Looks to be the hopes of a Colts fan telling himself it'll all be OK!


Regarding the AFC South questions earlier, I think I have to agree with PR. Texans have done a lot to upgrade their offense (Miller is an utter boss and people can't just cover Hopkins anymore). Colts only upside is that Luck will be back and they've strengthened their OL, but I don't think that's enough to win an ever improving division. The Jags had a strong draft (on paper), as did the Titans, so they'll both suck a lot less, especially if Myles Jack manages to play for a season. It'll be a close one and injuries, as always, could decide it if anyone loses a key player like the Colts lost Luck last season, but I'd back the Texans at the moment.

I meant that Watt always wears an elbow brace ( you don't need that if your elbow is OK) and even was a non factor during (just) one Colts game because he was always facing 2 O-Linemen

I disagree with your perception of HOU offense : will Lamar Miller be the same type of RB Arian Foster was a few seasons ago ? let's ask the Dolphins staff. Do they have a pass catching playmaker that will benefit of the double coverage on Hopkins ? Huh...

Then I agree with Osweiler

Prevention is better than the cure... He may have had an injured elbow at one point, but joint braces (elbows and knees), especially as a lineman, aren't a rare sight in the NFL. Like I said, hasn't missed a game in 5 years so hardly an injury concern. Double teaming someone out of the game also doesn't mean he's injured, it just means that your 1 guy can't block him so you have to cause mismatches elsewhere to stop him from being as disruptive as you know he will be 1 v 1 (don't blame anyone for doing it).

Miller will be absolutely fine in the backfield. He was one of the best RBs in the NFL last year when the Dolphins actually gave him the ball. With an inexperienced and unproven guy at QB, expect them to run the ball a lot to start with and expect Miller to do extremely well out of it. Not sure what you're implying by asking the Dolphins, but they proved last year they didn't know how to utilise him properly (and they they generally have no clue about anything!). They'd give him the ball one half and he scores 2 TDs and gets 150y, then in the second half they give him the ball 3 times, just never made sense. Miller will be a boss in Houston (he also has a better YPC average across his career than Foster; if he got more carries per game I suspect his yardage total would also be a lot higher than it is currently).

Regarding WRs, they just drafted Braxton Miller AND Will Fuller. Each of them are NFL ready to play as a WR2 and both will capitalise if not given enough respect because everyone is paying too much (justified) attention to Hopkins.

Literally none of your points make any sense other than you're a Colts fan and can't see the wood for the trees.

The Colts will always be in the hunt because they have the best quarterback in the division by a wide margin. Luck staying healthy is the key.

About Watt :
-Injuries : https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/03/31/j-j-watt-played-through-through-five-torn-core-muscles-among-other-injuries/

-double-teaming with effectiveness ( : http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/10/09/colts-trumpet-their-ability-to-neutralize-justin-james-watt/

Miller :
http://www.nfl.com/player/lamarmiller/2533034/profile
vs Foster
http://www.nfl.com/player/arianfoster/79555/profile
Miller has never made a 250+ carries season while Foster has done it 4 times. Don't know if he will have the same kind of durability

Drafting WR ?

Some of this articles might be wrong, but there's still a long way before saying that

and yes I'm a Colts fan, but that didn't prevent the Texans to win the division with a worst QB situation than Indy ( by far) and win at Lucas Oil Stadium; of course I'm hoping the Colts to win the division, but I'm not saying that the Colts will be 6-0 within the division this year.

End of season.

Watt & Clowney have played 14 matches together in a span of 3 years.

Ajayi had a fine season, his second 1000 yards season, but career low YPC, lower TD number than 2 previous seasons, when he wasn't carrying the ball enough in Miami. Also didn't play in 2 games.

Fuller delivered, Miller did not ( as a 3rd round pick, it's okay).
