Chris Ballard: Colts landed best defensive player in 2024 NFL Draft in UCLA DE Laiatu Latu
So why, then, was a player of Latu’s caliber still available in the middle of the first round?
The answer probably starts with six teams taking a quarterback before the 15th overall pick: The Chicago Bears (Caleb Williams, No. 1), Washington Commanders (Jayden Daniels, No. 2), New England Patriots (Drake Maye, No. 3), Atlanta Falcons (Michael Penix Jr., No. 8), Minnesota Vikings (JJ McCarthy, No. 10) and Denver Broncos (Bo Nix, No. 12). Three wide receivers – Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze – went in the top nine picks, and four offensive linemen plus tight end Brock Bowers went in the first 14 selections.
