Every year the NFL Network does its top 100 countdown based on the previous season. However, that’s the past, and we want to look forward to the future. Four of our writers have put together a 14 part series, predicting our top 10 at each position. We’ve also included the most under and overrated at each position.
The 2019 season seemed to be over before it even began for the Indianapolis Colts. During the preseason, Andrew Luck shocked the sports world as he retired, leaving Indianapolis and general manager Chris Ballard looking for answers.
The Indianapolis Colts made some massive roster moves this offseason. Joe Heller takes a look at these moves and more in his latest edition of three burning questions:

It seems like every year without fail, NFL Twitter gets a hold of a couple clips of a corner making a nice interception, or a running back juking a linebacker and leaving them in the dust, and proclaims them as the next great thing. I’m here to look at seven players that were drafted in April that have seen a ton of chatter, and to give my predictions on if they will prove worthy from day one.
Linebackers are crucial to being able to stop the run and play in coverage. Which ones have proved they are
In Griffin Clark’s third mock draft, the Raiders replace Khalil Mack with a new defensive lineman and the Patriots find Tom Brady’s successor, among many other picks.

It’s no secret how bad the Colts offensive line was in 2017 – they allowed 56 sacks and forced their quarterbacks to constantly run for their lives every play. They were rated the worst offensive line by many of the NFL’s experts, and the offensive line was a focal point of improvement that the Colts needed to make to keep their newly healthy QB Andrew Luck on his feet.
