Laiatu Latu was a bit of a surprise pick, but far from an unwelcome one. The pass rush technician didn’t fully fit the “Ballard Prototype” that many have expected at the Defensive End position.
However after rewatching his tape, thinking back on my Senior Bowl interview with him and all the ravings I heard from scouts and media in Mobile and I had to make a thread making a case for him to the pick a few weeks before the Draft.
Friends: there’s a case to be made for Laiatu Latu being the Colts Round 1 pick.
