46. One of the late climbers for this year’s class ends up on a team that has all sorts of issues to figure out. It’s remarkable what a player like Andrew Luck can do as far as masking problems that ultimately catch up with a team. The Colts have seen their playoff runs end in embarrassing fashion in recent years, mostly due to the inability of their defense to ‘stop the bleeding’. Luck’s turnovers have been part of the problem, but often times it seems like the quarterback is trying to do everything on his own.
