Tyler Warren has been a favorite selection for the Indianapolis Colts in mock drafts this offseason, but could they go in a different direction at the tight end position? Keith Sanchez of The Draft Network seems to think so.

In a recent mock draft, the Indianapolis Colts did what has become the unthinkable: they passed on Penn State tight end Tyler Warren. In many mock drafts--and when I say many, I mean many--Warren has been to go-to pick for the Colts and it's easy to understand why

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler: “Like Warren to Indianapolis, this is another potential pairing that should be popular in mock drafts. A big, fast and reliable pass catcher, Loveland would help fix several of the Chargers’ offensive woes. And, obviously, no other head coach will be more familiar with how to use his skill set than Jim Harbaugh.”

Bucky Brooks of NFL.com r eleased his first mock draft of the 2025 draft cycle, and like many before him, the Indianapolis Colts take Penn State tight end Tyler Warren at pick 14.

The Indianapolis Colts lacked effective tight ends in the 2024 NFL season. With a consistent four-player rotation, Indy's tight ends totaled under 500 yards and only two touchdowns this year.

Penn State stars Abdul Carter and Tyler Warren are projected first-round picks in the 2025 NFL draft — and ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. agrees.
