46. . Offensive Tackle. Texas Longhorns. Connor Williams. 3. player

The Texas Longhorns are going to lose their best offensive lineman they’ve seen in Austin over the past decade. Offensive tackle Connor Williams is a former All-American that was seldom seen on the field because of injury. However, that will not limit his potential in the NFL.

For the Indianapolis Colts, this team is in a similar situation to that of the Seahawks. If they cannot figure out how to protect the franchise quarterback, Andrew Luck, they’ll have to start completely over. Luck took too many sacks to start his career and will end up missing the entire 2017 campaign.

Considering Jacoby Brissett is a talented quarterback, the Colts have not completely fallen apart this year. Yet, even Brissett has gone through concussion protocol already. This NFL Draft needs to start with picking up a quality offensive lineman, and Williams is the best this class has to offer.

When general manager Chris Ballard starts putting a good offensive line in front of Luck, the Colts can start contending again in the AFC South. For now, it’s about figuring out the right offensive lineman to fit in aside from who they draft with their first pick.
