You just cant.

No other QB has taken the beaten Luck has taken the last few years and the stats bear it out.
I have been preaching defense, defense and more defense. But I would be ecstatic if Lamp was our choice at #15. Need to protect #12.

If we want Lamp I am thinking it may be better to trade down, if possible.

If there's no one better that's worth taking at 15 (which I don't find plausible) then finding a trade partner might be difficult. Clark is the RT of the future and I think will be a good starter. He had 1st round talent and just needed/needs coaching. With good starters at center and RT we don't really need a 1st round RG. I want to see what Haeg can do, and the defense still needs young playmakers to build around.

Using back-to-back mid-1sts on interior OL is such an ass-backwards way of building a roster.

It is, but I would prefer it to the other extreme which was Grigson's strategy.

No it's not an interior OL will have more of an impact than any defensive player we draft at 15

An interior lineman will do nothing to beat Tom Brady. Keep your eye on the prize. A competent o-line means the Colts get demolished again by the Patriots in the playoffs if they don't have a special D.

or Andy could speed up his release and stop being an early Rothlesburger QB, or the Colts could get smart and have more plays with short quick drop backs and less 7 step drops. The OL hs not been good, but Luck and the coaching do make the job harder.
