The Indianapolis Colts found their new head coach this offseason, as they inked former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich. Josh McDaniels was slated to be the head coach, but changed his mind in the 11th hour, leaving the team high and dry. Still, Reich is a phenomenal coach, and has piloted some of the best comebacks we have seen in football history on both levels.

Heading into next season, the Colts will have to first find out what is happening with quarterback Andrew Luck. Luck had shoulder surgery last January, and has yet to find his way back to the football field. Assuming he is healthy enough to give it a go next season, the Colts will likely spend this pick on the defensive side of the ball, and Bradley Chubb could be their pass rushing answer.

When it comes to defensive players in this draft class, Chubb definitely stands out above the rest. Chubb is a quarterback’s nightmare, possessing a rare blend of size and speed. If the Colts want to be competitive in the AFC South, they need to get batter at getting after the quarterback, and Chubb helps that need right away. The Colts have a lot of issues on both sides of the ball, but this definitely takes care of one of them.
