Colts announce seven inactive players for Week 15 game vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Colts added Texas wide receiver Adonai Mitchell in the second round and Pitt offensive lineman Matt Goncalves in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft on Friday, bringing in two key players who will help surround Anthony Richardson in 2024 and beyond. 

The Colts own five selections on Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft. 

During the pre-draft process, Goncalves said he spoke extensively with offensive line coach, Tony Sparano Jr. about how he could fit on the team.

Mitchell said he's ready to make the teams that passed on him pay.

The Colts trade up three spots in the third round to select Goncalves. 

The Colts traded third- and sixth-round selections to Arizona in exchange for the Cardinals' third-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. 

Mitchell had 11 touchdowns with Texas in 2023, and while with Georgia he caught the go-ahead touchdown in the 2022 College Football Playoff final at Lucas Oil Stadium. 

The Colts moved back six spots and acquired two fifth-round picks from the Carolina Panthers. 

The Colts selected UCLA defensive end Laiatu Latu with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and began Friday by trading back with the Carolina Panthers in the second round. 

Latu's love of football propelled him through some legitimate adversity he faced during his collegiate career.
