At 41, Colts go with Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor.
Offense with their first two picks tonight. Not a coincidence.
Getting Philip Rivers some weapons.

The Colts are drafting Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor. I've watched a ton of Taylor over the years. Fast, great breakaway speed. Lots of experience running behind a powerful offensive line. Style's hard to describe; he can pick his way through holes and then take off.

From everything I've read, Jonathan Taylor is the best pure running back in the class. An athletic freak who ran a 4.39 40-yard dash at 226 pounds.

Taylor's a very good receiver, too. Wisconsin highlighted that a lot last year. Paul Chryst clearly altered the offense to get him more receiving options.

With the Fournette drama unfolding in Jacksonville, my guess is that the Colts felt like they had to jump the Jags to get Taylor.

If there's an area of concern about Jonathan Taylor it's the immense workload he's already shouldered. In three years at Wisconsin, he ran the ball 926 times.
For reference, between 3 years in college AND 3 years in the NFL, Marlon Mack has run the ball 1,121 times.

Fumbles were an issue, too. Fumbled 18 times in three years, but. ...
But the Colts have Tom Rathman as a RBs coach, and he's famously intense about ball security.

Regarding his fumbles, he emphasizes that the bulk of them came from his freshman year but he needs to put more work into "making sure that's shored up."
