Indianapolis Colts team preview before 2020 NFL Draft
The Colts signed Phillip Rivers this offseason. Do you think the Colts should draft a quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft or roll with the veteran?
The Indianapolis Colts are a few pieces away from being contenders to compete for the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay this year. With a solid 2020 NFL Draft, the Colts could find themselves back on track.
The start of last season was tough for the Colts, finding out during half-time of a preseason game that your franchise quarterback Andrew Luck was retiring from the NFL. The Colts had to roll with Jacoby Brissett and Brian Hoyer for the entire season. Brissett started all but one game, that game Hoyer started in and was taken out in the first half. Indianapolis is just missing that quarterback piece from making a push to the playoffs, did they sign the right guy this offseason to take them to Tampa Bay in February?
The Indianapolis Colts signed longtime Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers to a one-year deal. Is this the piece that the Colts need to make them legit contenders? Rivers fits the offensive scheme, having T.Y. Hilton, Parris Campbell, and Zach Pascal all at wide receiver. A very fast group of wide receivers for Rivers’ gun-slinging personality will be perfect. But in this year’s draft, they are gonna have to get a quarterback that sits behind Rivers and Brissett that can learn the offense and take over when Rivers time with the Colts is done and Brissett is a free agent at the end of this season as well. Will the Colts draft a quarterback in this year’s draft?
