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.
Cooper DeJean still in the board.
Let's go! And if we miss him there are still guys that fit our system very well. We didn't need a shutdown CB as much as we need an elite Edge rusher. An elite Edge rusher makes the entire secondary better. Generally speaking, passes under pressure aren't as accurate compared to when they have all day to throw.
With Grover Stewart in colts we’re number one defense against the run .
Exactly while Colts were top 5 in sacks they were near the bottom of the league in pressure rate. So, I definitely do like this pick.
I am sure this is an attempt by Ballard to correct his previous bad selections but opposing quarterbacks will shred are pathetic secondary
Another bad Ballard draft. If you knew what he was doing since we've drafted defensive ends by the handful since he started as general manager and he is yet to hit on any of them
This guy is the best edge in the draft, why are people doubting this?
Because a neck injury is like an ankle injury. It has a chance to happen again. Most teams wouldn't take the chance because the pros are different from college. Stroud got lucky last year because most of the players aren't like past players but this next season will be different. Most players train and adjust and learn from their mistakes from last year.
Just keep an eye on this guy. He might be a superstar.
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.
Yea there’s zero chance they’re paying Paye a 5th year option. He’s not worth half that much money.
I think we resign Odey he'll be cheaper to retain but paye gonna want more so yes he's gone next season
As a Colts fan I loved this pick. Finally someone that can (hopefully) get to the qb consistently. Good coverage guys.
I loved it too. I think the CBs are a little overrated this year. We haven’t had a impactful pass rush since Freeney and Mathis. Plus, we picked due to production and not traits while hoping the guy develops. That’s our usual move, and it hasn’t really worked.
Ya know who else had neck surgery and it looked like they were finished because of it?
Peyton Manning.
The same doctor who cleared manning to play with his neck injury cleared Latu
I'm sure comparing a guy who was an all timer at the point of injury is just like a 24 year old who sat for 2 years and doesn't look like an NFL build. I'm gonna have to see this work out to not have questions about doing this.
Not to mention Latu was a lot younger than Manning when he had his done so he has a better chance of his body bouncing back than what Manning did & we see how good it turned out for him
Washington handled his injury poorly with everything I've watched on him. I think he was playing rugby not long after his injury. So I'm not really worried about it at this point. Dudes a dawg
And dk
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.
Colts could probably still get a good/solid CB in the 2nd but most likely a great one. If they want De Jean they will need to trade up for him.
He’s the best player on the board. If we want him Ballard is gonna have to sack up and trade up.
Many felt he had the best tape in the draft. The colts felt he was the best player. Don’t see what he said that’s incorrect other than dejean hasn’t faced good wrs
Ballard said he was one of 4-5 elite players on their board
Collingsworth has never liked the Colts.
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.
With the 15th pick in the 2024 NFL, the Indianapolis Colts select the highest rated defensive player in the draft.
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
Go Colts!
Wish we would've taken Dallas Turner but i hope I'm wrong and this guy is all world
Please tell me why his stats wasn’t better as the draft pick
I feel the same way @comp_44
Guys he literally had a 9.37 RAS lol
No one cares about that bullshit. It has never brought a great player to the Colts. Hype for nothing. Woods was a 10 and what has he done. Richardson was what, and what did he shoe. Boy softer than fresh croissants out the oven.
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
We’ve just had a top 3 line the last 4 yrs
Dallas Turner was available and we passed. I hope this kid is as polished and effective as they say he is.
You could just… watch him
Turner is a project compared to Latu. He has higher upside but Latu will have a more instant impact. I like the pick
I mean if you just look at sacks and nothing else Turner 14 sacks in 2 years, latu 23.5 lol
@@user-mj4il2rw4u I’ve watched him. Especially this season. I’m not denying his ability as a rusher, but I think a more versatile, stronger, athletic piece on the edge would’ve helped more with who we have at linebacker, safety and corner.
@@nickciambra7273 Oh no doubt about the production and polish for sure. I was hoping we’d get more athleticism on the edge as well.
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
No they don’t. What DE on the roster had the production he’s had in college?
I agree. Ballard likes to go against the grain. Would’ve been easier to pick Dallas and probably better
@youngfrantz5109 really college. Bro this is the men's league. Have you seen Latu's frame. There's no muscle definition on his arms. Latu is not going to make a difference. Stroud and Lawrence get rid of the ball in 2 seconds and eat up our defense all the time
@@mikeymendez7060 Pass rush has 0 to do with how chiseled your arms are. It mostly depends on technique, and this guys oozes it.
@@mikeymendez7060
Name the player
“Marginal height and frame is nearly maxed out. Hands are more active than strong -- could play with more pop and power. Overpowered in the run game and ground up by double teams. Gets snared and controlled by bigger, longer blockers. Not a two-gap player. Has some tweener traits -- lacks ideal length and bend to play outside.”
That’s Aaron Donald weaknesses on his draft profile. Colts have spent years drafting based off RAS and where has it got them? Time to start drafting proven players and not players off of upside. Ballard switched it up this draft.
Latu is a dog. Just be back here when Latu wins DROY.
Bust
Ik. I busted a nut too when I saw this. So good
Cope
@@theblakexthis crybaby is in every chat 😂
Lol. Never played a snap in the NFL but he's a bust. Please delete your channel.
Lol go eat some more crayons
