Colts Current Picks:

Round 1, Pick #15—

Laiatu Latu, UCLA Edge

Height: 6’5”

Weight: 259 pounds

Arm: 32 5’8”

Year: Senior

NFL Network Daniel Jeremiah’s scouting report:

“Latu has ideal size, quickness and instincts for the position. As a pass rusher, he can win with his quick get-off or a variety of hand moves. He has an excellent feel for when offensive tackles overset or underset and adjusts accordingly. He doesn’t have elite speed or power, but he wins with technique, bend and savvy. He can corner well at the top of his rush and is an outstanding finisher. Against the run, he’s been inconsistent when it comes to setting the edge. He’s shown the ability to shoot his hands, leverage blockers and hold the point of attack. However, there are other times his pad level is too high and he gets controlled. His effort is outstanding to chase, against both run and pass. Latu did have serious medical issues while at the University of Washington. Overall, Latu is the most skilled pass rusher in this class and should have an immediate impact at the next level.”

Round 2, Pick #52

Adonai Mitchell, WR Texas

Height: 6’2”

Weight: 205 pounds

Arm: 32 3’8”

Year: Junior

NFL Network Daniel Jeremiah’s scouting report:

“Mitchell has outstanding size, toughness and polish for the position. He is fast and has a long stride. He has surprisingly good route polish for a bigger receiver. He understands how to change tempo, and he’s clean getting in and out of breaks. He gave Kool-Aid McKinstry a lot of trouble in the Alabama game last September, finishing with three catches for 78 yards and two TDs. He has some wow catches on fades and 50/50 balls. He can climb the ladder, hang and finish (SEE: his TD grab against Washington in the College Football Playoff). It looks like he gets a little lazy at times on the back side of routes, assuming the ball is going elsewhere. He doesn’t have a ton of production after the catch. Overall, though, Mitchell is an ideal X receiver. He can make plays when covered, and he’s a real weapon in the red zone.”

Round 3, Pick #79

Matt Goncalves, OT Pitt

Height: 6’6”

Weight: 327 pounds

Arm: 33 1’4”

Year: Senior

NFL.com draft profile by Lance Zierlein:

“Beefy lineman with experience at both tackle spots who should be able to transition inside if needed. He’s not a natural knee-bender and lacks leverage as a projected guard but has the mass and power to execute blocks inside. He’s a decent athlete for his size but is limited as a move blocker. He’s sound in pass protection, with the only real issue being his inability to change direction quickly against counters and twists. Goncalves might get a shot to prove himself at tackle early in his career but limited foot quickness will shrink his margin for error. The physical traits and two-position potential could make him a middle-round pick with eventual starter potential.”

Round 4, Pick #117

Round 5, Pick #142

Round 5, Pick #151

Round 5, Pick #155

Round 7, Pick #234
