Nice props from MMQB article:

2. The Colts may be 2-5, but their rookie class is showing off-the-charts promise. Second-round linebacker Darius Leonard had 17 tackles in the win over the Bills on Sunday and might be on his way to Defensive Rookie of the Year. Second-round defensive end Kemoko Turay had two quarterback hits and a sack. Running backs Nyheim Hines (fourth round) and Jordan Wilkins (fifth) combined for 93 yards on 11 carries. And first-round guard Quenton Nelson and second-round tackle Braden Smith were part of a line that now starts four former Top 40 picks, and paved the way for 220 yards rushing. And Indy has high hopes for injured second-round 3-technique Tyquan Lewis and sixth-round receiver Deon Cain. For GM Chris Ballard, this has the early look of a group that could accelerate the rebuild big-time.
Our rookie class is killing it!

IF Cain were heathly, he would have a legitimate shot at WR2 and fulll-time play time.

And IF Lewis were healthy, I have little doubt he would be given the opportunity to rotate in.

Both Franklin and Adams are playing a lot of ST snaps and filling in solid depth at LB; just what you want out of your 7th round draft picks.

Fourtain is the only let down so far as he has been unable to stay on the 53 even in the face of our weak WR corps. Perhaps he just needs another year of maturity but...

If Ballard would have had this scouting staff instead of Grigson's in 2017....

The future is so bright, Colts fans, we gotta triple up!

Walk Worthy,
