Marlon Mack

The Indianapolis Colts drafted a legendary college back in Jonathan Taylor. It is very possible the Colts want him to be the long term feature back. The Colts have a stellar offensive line and might not want to spend that much money on a back who eventually will serve as the backup anyway.

It’s likely they’d rather use that money on resigning their offensive lineman and building a defense. Due to this, Marlon Mack is likely going to be a free agent.

Tampa Bay could be the top landing spot for Marlon. Ronald Jones has shown flashes up big-play ability. However, he lacks consistency. The duo of Marlon Mack and Ronald Jones would be a very solid committee. Mack hasn’t burst onto the scene as a Pro-Bowl level back yet, however he has that potential. Tampa Bay has tons of talent on offense, however they are a bit one dimensional. With defenses so worried about the pass, the running game could thrive.

Adding Marlon Mack gives the Bucs a big boost on the ground. Defenses will have to choose between respecting the run and getting shredded through the air or allowing Mack and Jones to carve up their front seven. Whichever the case may be, adding a strong committee backfield will make the Bucs offense one of the leagues most lethal.

Prediction: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
