Tillery gives the Colts a useful veteran changeup inside. His length and pass-rush background are valuable in a rotation that already has stronger run defenders. He does not need to carry the line; he needs to provide steady snaps and capitalize on favorable matchups.
Strengths: NFL experience, length, interior pass-rush ability and a track record of availability. He can be effective when allowed to attack rather than simply absorb double teams.
Weaknesses: He has moved through several teams and is better as complementary depth than a dominant every-down defender. His run-game consistency remains the area opponents will test.
