Laiatu Latu NFL Draft photo
The Colts take the first defensive player off the board as they beef up their pass rush with UCLA's Laiatu Latu. Latu joins a productive pass-rush group headlined by Kwity Paye and Samson Ebukam. Paye had 8.5 sacks in 2023; Ebukam had 9.5. Dayo Odeyingbo also emerged with 8 sacks in his rookie year. These are good numbers, and Indy was actually fifth in the league with 51 sacks last year. Latu will add even more production. Expect double-digit sacks from him each year.

The selection of Latu is a risky one. Latu was medically retired in 2021, but a second opinion allowed him to return to football in 2022. Concerns over the neck injury will have been thoroughly investigated by the Colts before making this pick. There's certainly no concern about Latu's talent. Latu is pro-ready and possesses a good combination of speed and strength. Latu has an excellent motor and wins with a varied combination of pass-rush moves. Grade: B

2024 Draft Trade
After a trade back from #46, the Colts add to their receiving room with the selection of Texas WR Adonai Mitchell.

Indy may already have talented receivers, but Mitchell will bring some extra zip to the offense. Mitchell has good size and exceptional speed. At times, Mitchell looks like he's giving minimal effort, and there are some questions over how he deals with his diabetes. This is a boom-or-bust pick, but good value at #52. Grade: B+

COLTS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.
Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".

Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
