Ryan Kelly was Colts' best first-round decision since Andrew Luck

INDIANAPOLIS – Sleep likely wasn’t a problem Thursday night for many affiliated with the Indianapolis Colts.

Why?

Because after four years of not attacking their issues at center head-on, the Colts were aggressive and did the right thing by selecting a player they believe will team with quarterback Andrew Luck for many years to come in Alabama’s Ryan Kelly.

That means no more plugging in journeymen players such as Mike McGlynn, Samson Satele and A.Q. Shipley to snap the ball to Luck. No more hoping undrafted free agent Jonotthan Harrison can get it together to team with Luck.
