Offensive Tackle. Ole Miss. Greg Little. 3. player. 46.

The Indianapolis Colts have a lot to be thankful for as we roll into Week 2 of the 2018 NFL season, as they got starting quarterback Andrew Luck back for the season opener. Luck has missed a ton of time dealing with an injury to his throwing shoulder, and looked good in Week 1, although the team lost to the Cincinnati Bengals.

For the Colts, they have to start thinking about the future, and when it comes to the future, keeping Luck upright has to be the priority. They did a nice job bringing in players for the interior of their offensive line in the 2018 NFL Draft, and now they should draft that franchise left tackle in 2019.

Based on the early returns, the Colts are not going to be anything special this season, and could be a team picking very early in the draft. The good news for them is they can get a guy like Greg Little from Ole Miss, who has the size, and footwork to be a starting left tackle in the NFL as early as next season.

With Luck back, the Colts will always have a chance to be in games, and now they have to fill the roster out around him. They should be back at the top of the AFC South at some point over the next two seasons, but the division is loaded in 2018, and they do not have the horses to compete just yet.
