With less than two weeks from the 2025 NFL draft, who do the draft analysts have the Indianapolis Colts taking in the latest edition of 'mock draft roundup'?As has been the case for pretty much the entire pre-draft cycle, tight ends dominate these mock drafts for the Colts. Without a doubt, it's a huge need. However, my two big points when it comes to this position with the Colts are, will Tyler Warren make it to pick No.
14? And don't forget about the importance of blocking at this position in Shane Steichen's offense.When tight ends weren't being picked, the Colts went with defense in these latest mocks. I could certainly see GM Chris Ballard adding to linebacker and the defensive line early, but what I don't think we are seeing enough of is offensive linemen mocked to the Colts in the first round.
“We’re working through that right now, (general manager Chris Ballard) and his staff, just looking at what’s out there, obviously, through free agency, possibly the draft,” Shane Steichen said of the offensive line via the Indy Star. “But obviously, offensive line’s a big part of it. You’ve got to be able to protect the quarterback.
You’ve got to be able to run the ball really well.”Now, without further ado, here is who the latest mock drafts have the Colts picking:Jared Dubin - CBS SportsTyler Warren, TE, Penn StateMichael Middlehurst-Schwarts - USA TodayColston Loveland, TE, MichiganJacob Infante - Pro Football NetworkTyler Warren, TE, Penn StateGennaro Filice - NFL.comColston Loveland, TE, MichiganHayden Winks - Underdog FantasyJihaad Campbell, LB, AlabamaJosh Edwards - CBS SportsWalter Nolen, IDL, Ole MissMatt Verderame - Sports IllustratedColston Loveland, TE, MichiganThis article originally appeared on Colts Wire: 2025 NFL draft: Tight ends and defense dominate Colts' mocks.
