Ryan Kelly gives Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts exactly what they needed. The Colts needed an anchor on the line and that’s what the All-SEC center from the national champions brings to Indianapolis. Luck had to run for his life last year and that ended his season when he got a lacerated kidney.

The Colts have neglected the offensive line since drafting Luck but they hit a nice 3-run home run with this pick. I think Kelly can be an All-Pro center before his rookie contract expires.

I think he is the best center to enter the league since Carolina Panthers All-Pro Ryan Kalil.
