The Indianapolis Colts are focusing on their offensive line for the 2025 NFL draft, needing to fill significant gaps. While many mock drafts highlight the tight end position, the offensive line must not be overlooked. Will Fries' departure leaves a void at right guard, and the potential shift of Matt Goncalves from tackle to guard presents risks given his limited experience at the position. General Manager Chris Ballard believes Goncalves can adapt, but relying solely on this transition could jeopardize the season.

The effectiveness of the quarterback, whether Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones, will depend on a robust offensive line. Both quarterbacks struggled under pressure; Richardson completed only 37% of his passes when pressured, while Jones fared slightly better at 44%. The Colts need to ensure the offensive line is adequately addressed in the draft to avoid predictable play-calling and protect their quarterback effectively.
