Luck IS throwing footballs

Nine guys in the lineup that I trust to start an NFL game.....nine!

OT = Castonzo, Howard, Haeg, Good
OG = Nelson, Smith, Mewhort, Slauson
OC = Kelly

It has been a LONG time since I have felt this good about the O-Line and then by extension the offense as a whole.

HOWEVER...

Mewhort is a UFA in 2019.
Slauson is a UFA in 2019.
Howard is a UFA in 2019.
Good is a UFA in 2019.

Castonzo is a UFA in 2020.
Haeg is an UFA in 2020.

Kelly with the 5th year option can be a UFA in 2021 (2020 if not exercised)
Smith will be a UFA in 2022.
Nelson with a 5th year option can be a UFA in 2023 (2022 if not exercised)

You CANNOT sit on a deep position group. You have to keep feeding it .

The Colts need to us a 1st round - 4th round pick on O-Line in 3 out of every 4 draft classes if it is going to keep being superior. It cannot be a one year fix and forget.

Walk Worthy,

Every year we should be getting an Oline and dline player in the first four rounds. I agree with that. Have to keep the lines stacked
