Royal is a solid #2 and right now their without a legit and proven #1... however, they will have a lot of options and will be forced to spread it around. Gaffney has value and will have his moments, but Thomas is key here and it would be great if he's able to mature quickly in the offense. Low chance of that happening, rookies rarely make a huge impact.
The key is protecting Orton - which makes Clady's return critical. If he has time and isn't running for his life, he's smart enough and can find open guys. They won't have the Colts' passing attack, but it won't be putrid either.
