18. Indianapolis Colts: Cody Whitehair, OL, Kansas State

A big reason why the Colts are picking at 18 in the first place is because the offensive line in 2015 was horrendous. The inefficient line was unable to protect Andrew Luck, which caused him to take a beating and ultimately miss games. The Colts aren’t going to let that happen again.

Indianapolis has holes all along the offensive line, but Whitehair has the ability to play either tackle position or guard. Whitehair offers good leadership and is one of the better options at lineman at this point in the draft.

Whitehair isn’t a big-time prospect, but he’d fit in well with the Colts.
