Usually, making the playoffs will be enough of a success where you don’t mind that the team has a later draft position the following spring. A disappointing season on the field at least will yield a high draft pick (like in 2011, when the Colts finished with the worst record in the NFL and were rewarded with the No. 1 draft pick in 2012, where they took quarterback Andrew Luck). But that’s not the case this season.
Jacoby Brissett took the reins and got off to a great start in his new starting quarterback role.
