The Indianapolis Colts got a big win this past weekend, though they had to play the hopeless Buffalo Bills to get it. Still, anytime you can absolutely blow out a team in the NFL, you have to have hope moving forward, and the team has done a nice job recently keeping star quarterback Andrew Luck off of his back.

Luck is coming back from a very serious shoulder injury, so the focus with the organization has to be protecting him for the long run. While the offensive line has played better recently, they do not have enough talent up front, and utilizing a top-5 pick on the left tackle position should be the way to go next April.

Jonah Williams from Alabama is the best left tackle in college football, and would be a guy who could slide in and start as a rookie in Indy. The Colts have gone out and brought back some good young skill players in recent drafts, but the offensive line has been an issue, which is why the team has been without Luck in the first place.

The AFC South is a very winnable division, and one bad year could mean a high draft pick for the Colts, and a solid offseason could put them right back in the discussion when it comes to the division. Williams is a guy who could be an anchor on this line for years to come, and Luck likely would be ecstatic with the team using such a high pick to protect him.
