INDIANAPOLIS – We are less than a month away the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Colts head into the draft with the 14th overall pick. The draft will take place in Green Bay, starting on April 24.
Here is our fourth Mock Draft look for 2025:
1. The Athletic’s Ben Standig: Pick No. 14: TE-Colston Loveland (Michigan)

Standig’s Analysis: Whether Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones wins the starting quarterback job, the Colts are overdue to add more weapons on offense. The tight end corps is particularly unimpressive. The 6-6 Loveland puts a tall target on the field, one capable of running receiver routes.
2. NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah: Pick No. 14: TE-Tyler Warren (Penn State)

Jeremiah’s Analysis: Whether it’s Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones starting for the Colts next season, the team needs to help its quarterback with some easy completions. Warren can provide them, and he’ll also be an asset in the run game for Jonathan Taylor.
3. CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli: Pick No. 14: TE-Tyler Warren (Penn State)

Fornelli’s Analysis: Will it be Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones? I don’t know, I’m just glad I’m not a Colts fan having to talk myself into either one. What I do know is that either of them will be happy to have an offensive weapon as versatile and reliable as Tyler Warren around.
4. Pro Football Focus’ Josh Liskiewitz: Pick No. 14: TE-Tyler Warren (Penn State)

Liskiewitz’s Analysis: Warren caught nine of 12 contested balls and led the country with 3.95 yards per route run against man coverage in 2024.Warren is a do-everything tight end who any coach would love to input into their offense. He isn’t a twitchy or flexible athlete who can unlock the whole route tree, but his versatility is incredibly valuable in the run-and-pass games. He is worthy of a first-round selection.
5. ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr.: Pick No. 14: TE-Colston Loveland (Michigan)

Kiper Jr.’s Analysis: I liked the Colts’ signings of Charvarius Ward and Camryn Bynum, so I’m less worried about the secondary than I was a few weeks ago. But I’m still very concerned about Indy’s pass-catching options. This is a make-or-break season for quarterback Anthony Richardson — especially now that Daniel Jones is in the fold as competition — and the wide receiver and tight end rooms are light. The Colts could take a wideout such as Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan, Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka or Texas’ Matthew Golden. But Loveland is ranked higher on my board than all three and could immediately become Indy’s No. 1 tight end. I see him hauling in some Richardson deep balls down the seam.

Totals (4 mock draft looks in) :
TE-Tyler Warren (9)
TE-Colston Loveland (4)
CB-Jahdae Barron (2)
CB-Will Johnson (2)
S-Malaki Starks (1)
OL-Tyler Booker (1)
OG-Armond Membou (1)
Bowen’s Analysis: Well, this is quite the consensus. There’s no denying tight end is a massive need for the Colts entering the draft. That’s definitely true for the present. Of course, knowing Chris Ballard, he’s never going to look too far away from the trenches. And one could certainly make a case the Colts need to spend a premium pick there, no matter the side of the ball. But what about the direct help for Anthony Richardson? This mock draft look is all over that after the Colts addressed the secondary in a significant manner during free agency. One might counter this “all-in tight end approach” and say it’s smarter to rely on the ’25 draft depth at that position, while spending the 14th pick on another position, which is more common practice when looking at draft history. But the Richardson dynamic provides a situation in what is hard to ignore. The Warren/Loveland gap seems to have seriously shrunk, with the Michigan tight end having a strong ability to address the Colts need in the middle of the field.
