Colts nonetheless find yourself with coveted TE Tyler Warren in Daniel Jeremiah’s Mock Draft 3.0
Based on NFL Community’s Daniel Jeremiah, the Indianapolis Colts come away pleased with the 14th total decide within the 2025 NFL Draft, deciding on prized Penn State tight finish Tyler Warren in his newest 2025 NFL Mock Draft 3.0:
14. Indianapolis Colts
Tyler Warren
Penn State · TE · Senior
Whether or not it’s Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones beginning for the Colts subsequent season, the staff wants to assist its quarterback with some simple completions. Warren can present them, and he’ll even be an asset within the run recreation for Jonathan Taylor.
Whereas I’ve some doubts that Warren truly slides close to halfway via the primary spherical to the Colts at #14, just like the consensus prime tight finish Brock Bowers final yr—who went #thirteenth total (and have become an NFL First-Workforce All-Professional as a rookie), this is able to be a slam dunk.
There’s seemingly some ‘draft fatigue’ with Warren given how lengthy he’s been projected as a risk for Indianapolis at #14 total, however let’s not overthink this one—as particularly with the Colts already making key free agent upgrades to the secondary, a plus receiving tight finish stays one of many staff’s greatest remaining roster wants.
Warren can block at a high-level.
Warren can catch at a high-level.
He’s one of the crucial full tight finish prospects to come back out in latest reminiscence.
“Throughout a monstrous senior season for the Nittany Lions, the listed 6’6,” 261 pound tight finish recorded 104 receptions for 1,233 receiving yards (11.9 ypr. avg.) and eight landing receptions in 16 begins—incomes the John Mackey Award, in addition to First-Workforce All-American, Huge Ten Tight of the Yr, and First-Workforce All-Huge Ten honors in 2024 respectively.”
The Colts received ‘subsequent to nothing’ from a receiving standpoint from their tight finish room final season collectively. Starter Kylen Granson just lately signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, whereas veteran free agent Mo Alie-Cox might quickly depart elsewhere as properly.
So why not add a dynamic playmaker over the center of the sphere that’s been lengthy overdue (and in the event you squint onerous sufficient, resembles one other well-known Colts’ tight finish #44 from the Huge Ten) forward of a vital yr for projected third-year starter Anthony Richardson:

“We didn’t get sufficient manufacturing from them… I’ve received to have the ability to give Shane [Steichen] and them a man that may actually management the center of the sphere, that groups must account for and defend.” pic.twitter.com/HljUDAgxMD
