The Colts had a productive draft class, addressing key needs like edge rusher with Laiatu Latu and finding potential steals like Adonai Mitchell in the second round. They also added depth along the offensive line with Anthony Gould in the fifth round. If Anthony Richardson can stay healthy and improve, the Colts have a chance to make the playoffs with the additions from this draft class.
One of the favorite picks from this draft class was Adonai Mitchell, a dynamic talent at wide receiver from Texas. Mitchell fell into the Colts’ lap and should complement Michael Pittman Jr. well. The depth at wide receiver is important for the Colts, who now have a group of young players competing for playing time.
However, Tanor Bortolini, a center from Wisconsin, was not as well received by fans and experts alike. While Bortolini is a talented athlete, he lacks the strength needed to be a reliable NFL offensive lineman. He will need to significantly improve his strength without sacrificing speed in order to become a starter for the Colts.
Overall, the Colts’ draft picks included Laiatu Latu, Adonai Mitchell, Matt Goncalves, Tanor Bortolini, Anthony Gould, Jaylon Carlies, Jaylin Simpson
