1. Austin Pasztor, Offensive Tackle Cleveland Browns

Originally selected by the Edmonton Eskimos with the 4th overall pick of the 2012 CFL Draft, Austin Pasztor has also spent time with the Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars before finding success with the Cleveland Browns.

The 6’7″, 308 pound offensive lineman started all 16 games for the Browns last season–having 15 of those 16 starts come at right tackle.

Per Pro Football Focus (subscription), there was only one free agent offensive tackle, Andrew Whitworth, who graded out better this past season after Week 3.

The Colts could clearly use some help along the right side of their offensive line.

Next: Clayton Geathers Made a Significant Second-Year Leap

While both rookies Joe Haeg and Le’Raven Clark showed flashes, neither necessarily solidified their respective positions either this past season.

Pasztor could challenge for a starting position and provide a much more proven option than either Clark or Haeg on the right side of the Colts offensive line going forward.
