The Colts offensive line was a big reason as to why their success has not come, despite having a franchise quarterback. When looking at the roster, they three positions with hope for a strong 2017, and two positions with little to no hope to for a strong future. At left tackle, they have Anthony Castonzo. At left guard Jack Mewhort and at center Ryan Kelly. However, right tackle and right guard leave gaping holes and an easy weakness to be exposed.

The Colts need to fix this as soon as possible because it is ruining Luck and his health. It is not the draft to acquire a lineman, so their best bet is free agency. At right tackle, there will be no better bet to make than Ricky Wagner. He was ranked as the 18th-best tackle in all of football by Pro Football Focus.

He has been consistent and has been a key piece to the Ravens and their success in the trenches in the past few seasons. However, the Ravens have some other big name free agents to sign, and there is a chance that Wagner’s time in Baltimore is up. The Colts should look to break the bank on the stud right tackle, and really complete the offensive line with talent and optimism this offseason.
