The first 14 picks of the 2024 NFL draft were offensive players on Thursday, which gave the Indianapolis Colts the opportunity to select the best defender at No. 15.
And Chris Ballard believes they did with pass-rusher Laiatu Latu.
"We got the best f--king rusher in the draft" the general manager said while laughing in a team-posted video summarizing their draft picks:
Latu was an All-American and the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year in his final season at UCLA in 2023. He posted 49 tackles, 13 sacks, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and two passes defended during a dominant campaign.
