The Indianapolis Colts made nine selections in the 2024 NFL Draft

The Colts made six selections on the final day of the 2024 NFL Draft. 

Jonah Laulu said he made the decision to transfer from Hawaii to Oklahoma to grow as a defensive lineman.

Abraham said he makes up for his lack of size by having speed and a lot of ball production.

The 6-foot-5, 292 pound Laulu played his college ball at Hawaii and Oklahoma. 

Simpson said he loves competition and prides himself on playing well in big games.

Abraham had 12 interceptions in his college career. 

Carlies said over the past two seasons, he's lined up at outside linebacker when Missouri played against run-heavy teams.

Gould said while at Oregon State he ran the full route tree and lined up as an outside and slot receiver.

The Colts used the No. 164 selection in the 2024 NFL Draft on Simpson, who picked off four passes in 2023 with Auburn. 

The Colts traded the third of their three fifth-round picks to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for two selections.
