Ryan Ramczyk

OT, Wisconsin

The Indianapolis Colts had a rough 2016 NFL season, as they failed to make the playoffs once again. The team played inconsistent football throughout, and incredibly, were still up for a playoff spot up until late in the season. As they head to 2017, they need to do something about their offensive line, as the lack of talent is starting to have a domino effect on the rest of the roster.

Franchise quarterback Andrew Luck has spent too much time on his back during his NFL career, and the hits have to be adding up. The Colts need to do everything they can to make sure he plays a long time with the team, as they invested a ton of money into him last offseason. Bringing in a quality offensive lineman has to be the key for the Colts in April, and no player is better than Ryan Ramczyk in this draft class.

Ramczyk is a beast of a player, who should be able to stay on the left side of the line at the next level. He has shown during his time at Wisconsin that he has incredible feet, and if the Colts truly want to make an investment along the line, they should spend the No. 15 pick on him. Indianapolis has a ton of playmakers returning on offense, but they will be rendered useless if Luck cannot get a minute to breath in the pocket.
