Right Tackle

For what it is worth, PFF grades:

80+ = NFL Elite
70 - 80 = NFL Superior
60 - 70 = NFL Average
Below 60 = NFL Substandard

Colts 2018 OTs:

76.1 = Braden Smith, 162 snaps, 115 passing, 47 rushing
69.3 = Le'Raven Clark, 296 snaps, 218 passing, 78 rushing
64.5 = JaMarcus Webb, 81 snaps, 59 passing, 22 rushing
59.7 = Joe Haeg, 174 snaps, 117 passing, 57 rushing
54.8 = Anthony Castonzo, 69 snaps, 48 passing, 21 rushing
49.8 = Denzelle Good, 119 snaps, 98 passing snaps, 21 rushing snaps

Obviously, I think Castonzo will improve as he gets his "playing" feet back under him but Smith and Clark have not only passed the "eye" test for looking solid, their pure NFL stats have been good as well and PFF has rated them pretty well.

Smith has the 14th highest OT grade in PFF for this season and the 2nd highest rated rookie OT behind Mike McGlinchey with SF at a 76.9 PFF rating.

For those interested:

68.3 = Quinton Nelson, 445 snaps, 325 passing, 120 rushing
60.3 = Mark Glowinski, 81 snaps, 53 passing, 28 rushing
73.7 = Ryan Kelly, 445 snaps, 325 passing, 120 rushing

Going Forward in 2018:

Castonzo / Nelson / Kelly / Glowinski / Smith

Depth = Clark, Good, Haeg (when he returns from IR)

Assumiong no more injuries (yeah, right!) , our O-line is shaping up.

Draft an OG in the 2nd round with one of our two picks next year and we are good to go on the O-line for the medium term.

One last note:

68.3 = OG Quinton Nelson, IND (445 snaps)
59.4 = OG Andrew Norwell, JAX (398 snaps)

Free agency does not always fix everything.

Walk Worthy,
