Colts will look into remaining free agents to find any potential fits
The NFL draft is behind us and the Indianapolis Colts' 91-man roster is pretty well set, but roster building in the NFL is a 365 day a year job, and GM Chris Ballard will 'investigate' free agent options that are still out there. “Between now and the start of the season – there are still some good players out there,” Ballard said after the draft. The two most notable position groups that the Colts could still add to are either cornerback or safety. With how the draft played out, the Colts didn't add to the cornerback position until the fifth round, and the safety they drafted, Jaylon Carlies, is being moved to linebacker.

Expert Commentary
This is a good landing spot for Latu. He’s had some injury concerns in the past, but Latu is a productive, versatile edge rusher that profiles as a high-floor player. He might not be Von Miller or prime Khalil Mack, but he’s a talented player in his own right that should be an 8-10 sack guy in the NFL.

Mitchell was viewed as a potential first-round prospect and he fell all the way to the back half of the second round. The Colts need to continue to add weapons around Anthony Richardson as he works his way back from injury, and now they have Mitchell to play with Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.

Offensive line depth is never a bad thing. Goncalves might be able to play a few positions up front for the Colts, but solid swing tackle is a nice outcome for him.
