Indianapolis Colts Select EDGE Laiatu Latu | 2024 NFL Draft | PFF

Colts D's ranked 28th or something, and got to deal with Trevor and Stroud every year. Makes sense, try to upgrade your pass rush, maybe get a DB tomorrow.

This guy is the best edge in the draft, why are people doubting this?

Bold pick as #1 defensive player, but if the medical staff gave it the okay, I’m not concerned. With K.Paye & D.Odeyingbo on contract years, they needed to be ready for the future.

As a Colts fan I loved this pick. Finally someone that can (hopefully) get to the qb consistently. Good coverage guys.

Colts have Flowers coming back ….Brents/Jones with a year of experience under their belts…. The secondary isn’t too shabby. Throw in a better pass rush and it’ll look even better. Enter Latu.

Chris Collinsworth is wrong. By selecting Latu the Colts are not saying they think he is the best defensive player... they are saying he is the best team fit player and at the position of most need. We've needed an elite pass rusher for years. We can get a great CB in the 2nd or 3rd still. Cooper DeJean is still on the board and we can use a S as well as a CB. DeJean fills both needs. Will he fall to 46? Maybe not, but anything is possible. This draft went 14 picks without a defensive player being drafted after all.

Ya know who else had neck surgery and it looked like they were finished because of it? Peyton Manning.

Secondary has less pressure on it if you are getting consistent pressure on the QB. Do I love the pick? Actually, yes. Colts broke franchise records in sacks last season while blitzing among the least in the NFL. You've got Stroud and Lawrence to deal with, each twice a year. Latu improves the pass rush but also encourages guys like Dayo and Quity to step up. You could argue the Colts had bigger needs elsewhere. But those needs are also lessened with a strong pass rush. Don't gotta worry about coverage if the QB can't throw.

Go Colts!

Freeny & Mathjs were awesome...go get the qb. afc south has big time qbs.

This pick isnt no Dwight Freeney...best defensive pick in draft?😂

With Stroud and Lawrence getting rid of the ball within 2 seconds, not grabbing a cornerback in the top 3 rounds will have Ballard saying the same thing year after year. That's on me...I thought these guys would step up and that Kenny and Blackmon would be better mentors and leaders. Hopefully Latu would be great and great really fast. But I know this secondary is going to suck like they have for the past couple of years. Kenny is washed up and Blackmon is not that good. Stroud and Lawrence will eat up the defense and their defenses have improved this offseason. Richardson has so much pressure on him, and the guy has barely played football in his life. You have the weapons and O line protection. It's time to step it up, no excuses. I think Richardson and the secondary will be the excuses Ballard will fall on come at the end of the season press conference. I hope Nick Cross and Rodney Thomas II will be our starting safeties and we can trade Blackmon for a draft pick before we lose him and get nothing in return

With the 15th pick in the 2024 NFL, the Indianapolis Colts select the highest rated defensive player in the draft.

Guys he literally had a 9.37 RAS lol

Wish we would've taken Dallas Turner but i hope I'm wrong and this guy is all world

I like it. Good hands good, moves and great angles of the edge. I would've liked some Oline so we dont end up with another andrew luck situation But i love this pick

Dallas Turner was available and we passed. I hope this kid is as polished and effective as they say he is.

The colts have like 6 guys on their roster just like this guy. The only stud D-Linemen the colts have is D-Fo who they traded for
