Every team would love nothing more than to draft the offensive or defensive rookie of the year. Although it doesn’t always translate to the best overall career, it provides instant validation that the team most likely got it right. The Indianapolis Colts didn’t have that honor this year, but they have two high draft picks from last year’s draft who they hope take a giant step forward. We saw potential and flashes from one, while the other appears to have a long way to go.
Laiatu Latu was a somewhat surprising pick in the first round for the Colts.
