The Indianapolis Colts held their rookie minicamp this weekend and while there weren't any major developments, this is first time the group was on the field together.
The nine-player draft class was joined by a seven-player crop of undrafted free agents and another large group of players participating on a tryout basis.
With the rookie minicamp concluded, here's one takeaway for each draft pick:
Takeaways from Colts draft picks
Laiatu Latu showing out
It's difficult to gauge the trenches when the pads aren't on so everything has to be taken with a grain of salt, but Latu was already proving the type of high motor and pristine pass-rushing that will be put on display in Indy.
Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan said "you noticed the innate rush ability Latu brings and saw his high motor on display."
Adonai Mitchell making big plays
Mitchell will be a hot topic of discussion throughout the offseason workout program going into training camp, and he gave a little taste of what's to come. The second-round pick took a deep crosser to the house in 7-on-7 drills and then made a nice mid-air adjustment down the sideline.
Matt Goncalves working at right tackle
The Colts drafted Goncalves in the third round hoping to add some depth to the offensive line. Goncalves is likely competing as a swing tackle with Blake Freeland, and he got reps at right tackle this weekend. He can also kick inside, but it's interesting that he's starting out at tackle.
Tanor Bortolini at center
No surprise here. The Colts drafted Bortolini in the fourth round with the idea that he may become the future center with Ryan Kelly in the final year of his contract. Bortolini also can work at both guard spots, but getting him reps at center will be vital.
Anthony Gould detail oriented
Transitioning to the NFL from college is always a challenge, but Gould is making sure he's focused on the minor details of everyday life in the league.
“It’s ball at the end of the day, but the details I would say really separates it from college so far. You have to be very detail-oriented in everything – splits, routes. It was fun. It was a good day. I’m excited to get back to ball again. It’s been a long time so I’m excited just to have a helmet on.”
Jaylon Carlies begins transition
The Colts' fifth-round pick officially began his transition from safety to linebacker as the "money backer" in Gus Bradley's scheme. Carlies is an elite athlete with the chance to compete for a role on both special teams and as the LB3 behind Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed.
Jaylin Simpson competing at corner
The Auburn product will begin competing as a nickel cornerback behind Kenny Moore II. He has safety flexibility as well, but the Colts want to see him getting reps in the slot while competing with Chris Lammons for the depth role.
Not much about Micah Abraham
There wasn't much said about Abraham, the team's lone sixth-round pick. Abraham figures to compete for one of the final roster spots in the secondary, working as a nickel cornerback with Simpson and Lammons.
Jonah Laulu enters a crowded room
Not much was said about Laulu either. The seventh-round pick faces an uphill battle to make the roster considering the depth the Colts have at defensive tackle. The final spot could come down to a competition between Laulu, Adetomiwa Adebawore and Taven Bryan.
