WR. Indianapolis Cotls. PHILLIP DORSETT. C. <p>The Indianapolis Colts have T.Y. Hilton coming back and Andre Johnson replacing Reggie Wayne. They already had some depth with Donte Moncrief too so they needed another receiver like they needed another hole in their collective head. There were higher rated players than Phillip Dorsett that could have helped their porous run-defense.</p> <p>But for some reason, Dorsett was the guy they took at No. 29 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. Don’t get me wrong, I love Dorsett as a player but they have one of him on the team and need to stop the run. But since he is a good player with blinding speed, he has impressed the Colts with it.</p><div class=
It has been reported by multiple camp observers that Dorsett has dropped jaws with his speed. He’s also shown in preseason games that he’s good in and out of breaks well when running routes. But I can’t give the Colts any higher than a C when he’s not going to start and he wasn’t the best avialable.
