1. Indianapolis Colts

Projected Starters:

LT: Anthony Castonzo

LG: Quenton Nelson

C: Ryan Kelly

RG: Mark Glowinski

RT: Braden Smith

It’s pretty impressive when one division has 2 teams with Top-10 offensive lines.

According to PFF, the Titans had the 8th-ranked line, while the Colts had the 3rd.

Castonzo has been a solid blindside blocker for years, and Nelson is the best run-blocker in the league. In fact, all five of the Colts’ starters played over 1,000 snaps last season, which is an impressive feat for linemen.

Behind the starters, the Colts have tackle Le’Raven Clark and rookie guard Danny Pinter. This should set up to be the best line Philip Rivers has ever played behind. If Rivers can stay upright, I think the Colts will be the Titans’ biggest challenger for the AFC South crown.

The right side of the line is weaker than the left, but the Colts still have the experience and depth to clearly stand out as the best offensive line group in the division.
