Agreed. 

Matt has at least a couple years of quality passing left IMO, but he'll need near-elite level protection to make that offense a division competitor. 
 The colts are in pretty good shape that way compared to many other o-lines, but they'll be tested. Especially if the Jags indeed get production from an early pick EDGE.

The abilities of RB Jonathan Taylor should greatly help Matt Ryan being able to play to his strengths and help limit the negative impact of his limited mobility.  

Yet, if Taylor is limited on early downs and/ or the Colts commit a penalty that leads them to expected passing down situations,  that's especially when the Jaguars and some other Colts opponents could have a field day against Ryan.
