The 2025 NFL draft is 7 days away, It will be held April 24-26 at Lambeau Field. The Indianapolis Colts have 7 picks beginning with No. 14 in round 1. I will be mocking the 7 picks the Colts have and making the picks based on team needs. I will also not have any trades in this mock even though General Manager Chris Ballard is known to trade back. Let’s dive in, shall we.
Round 1- Pick- 14
Tyler Warren- TE, Penn State
This pick is who I hope is still available at 14. The only problem with that is all the free agency moves the teams ahead of the Colts have done. This would be a best-case scenario for the Colts. I also could see Ballard trading back to extra picks on the back end of the draft. Warren’s numbers during his last season at Penn State were 104 rec, 1,233 receiving yards, and 8 touchdowns.
Round 2- Pick- 48
Carson Schwesinger- LB, UCLA
This pick will add linebacker depth to a defense that lost EJ Speed to the Texans in free agency. This guy would probably start week 1 he is that good. In his junior season, he had 136 total tackles and 4 sacks. He also added 1 forced fumble and 2 interceptions. This player will come in and start week 1.
Round 3- Pick- 80
Jared Wilson- IOL, Georgia
This pick is a pick to help with the holes in the offensive line left by center Ryan Kelly and Will Fries. In 2024, on 475 pass block snaps, he allowed no sacks. For a third-round value, he will be a great depth at center and be able to play
Final Thoughts
The NFL Draft starts on April 24. If Warren is not there at 14, that will change what the Colts do. I believe they will draft a tight end and offensive line. I also would not be surprised if Ballard makes a couple of trades to move back and add picks. The NFL Draft is only 7 days away. Stay tuned to Total Apex Media for all things Colts and NFL Draft.
