Colts grades: Revisiting the Brissett-Dorsett trade

Andrew Luck‘s shoulder thrust the Colts into action early in 2017. After they realized he wasn’t going to be playing anytime soon, they found a quarterback they could bring in. They traded Phillip Dorsett, a former first round pick, for Jacoby Brissett.

Having a trade with the Patriots was odd in of itself. But going out to get a quarterback was surprising at the time. It showed just how little faith they had that Luck was going to be healthy and how little faith they had in everyone behind him at the time.
