INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts are keeping the focus on putting a solid supporting cast around Andrew Luck, adding massive offensive tackle Justin Anderson of Georgia with the first of their three seventh-round picks.

Anderson is a 6-foot-5, 342 pounds and was taken with the 208th overall selection. He started all 14 games at Georgia last season after being moved to the offensive line in the spring.

Indy has now taken seven offensive players with its first eight picks in this year’s draft, starting with Luck as the No. 1 overall selection. The Colts still have two more picks.
