The Colts found their replacement for Carson Wentz on Monday, trading a third-round pick to Atlanta for 36-year-old Matt Ryan. Here's how experts graded the deal:
Doyel:Colts need to win right now, and Matt Ryan is a QB who can get that done
To land Ryan is one thing. To land him at half the going rate of Wentz is another. GM Chris Ballard, who has been readily criticized for his handling of Wentz, has bounced back in a big way here. Trading a third-round pick — the Colts had two, by the way — for a long-term franchise QB (Ryan has two years left on his deal) is a masterstroke in an offseason of rapid movement.
