Excited to see our preseason depth

[Colts And Orioles]

The 2024 Colts have deep depth.

Both Bortolini and Goncalves are likely to start out life on the inside in my opinion. I agree Bortolini is much more suited to play C, but he played both positions in college. For what its worth he is listed as a G on Colts.com

Goncalves, he played mostly tackle in college, both left and right side, but from what I have read it looks more likely that he would be better suited to a move inside. Again for context he is listed as a T on the official team website.

It would not surprise me at all to see both of them seeing some time with the 1st team offensive line throughout training camp.

Both seem to be in the Big Q mold of strong and nasty linemen. Should be a fun battle for the spots in the lineup.

I read somewhere that Gancalves did not give a sack his junior year, playing both LT and RT. I wouldn't count him out as a backup OT.

Sure seems like Bortolini was drafted to replace Kelly and Goncalves to compete w/ Freeland to replace Smith with whoever doesn't win out becoming the backup swing tackle.

But to your point it doesn't mean they can't start out at OG, especially Bortolini. I didn't realize that he had several starts at OG in college, so maybe he starts out there and as the 3rd OC in case both Kelly and French get injured.

I need one of these other RB's to assume Moss' role. I do not want to see Taylor getting ridden into the dirt. My expectations are high this year; He should be playing in the playoffs.

Someone from this TE room needs to assert their presence as well. MAC needed to go last year, respectfully. I think we've seen what Granson has to offer. The other guys need to step up and give AR another weapon. Consistency. Maybe Granson is still that guy, given he's the only one that has shown any of that.

I say it's division/wildcard or heads roll, and the players are included in that. If these guys can't figure it out, this year, I think they need to commit to turnover. The player's lack of production will be inexcusable after the $ has been dished out like it has, and I won't feel sorry for them.

I think Houston is going to be really good this year and I also think Jacksonville will bounce back. Tennessee is a wild card. Levis is a complete unknown at this point but they gave him maybe the best wr room in the league with Hopkins, Ridley, and Tyler Boyd. Okonkwo is a decent tight end as well.

I think winning the division is going to be tough.
