The Indianapolis Colts are taking a best-player-available approach on the final day of the 2024 NFL Draft, selecting Wisconsin offensive lineman Tanor Bortolini with the 117th overall pick in the fourth round.

Bortolini (6'4", 303, 21 years old) is a highly athletic interior offensive line prospect who scores a 9.78 RAS. The Colts have Ryan Kelly, Will Fries, and most of their interior depth set to hit free agency next offseason, so this is a quality move to get ahead of a problem before it becomes one.
