The Indianapolis Colts have invested their 15th overall pick in the 2024 draft on edge defender Laiatu Latu, who, despite a modest rookie season, showcased the potential for a significant impact on the team's defense. Latu's versatility and speed could make him a key component for the Colts moving forward. However, with several elite edge rushers potentially available for trade, including Myles Garrett, Micah Parsons, Trey Hendrickson, and Maxx Crosby, speculation arises about whether the Colts might pursue any of these big names.

While the appeal of such trades is strong, particularly given Garrett's rumored desire to leave Cleveland, Colts GM Chris Ballard's historical reluctance towards high-profile trades suggests they may choose to develop their existing talent, notably Latu and fellow edge rushers like Kwity Paye and Dayo Odeyingbo. The Colts aim to solidify their defensive front, but fans should be cautious about high expectations regarding potential trades as the offseason unfolds.
