Former NFL GM has Colts making popular pick in latest 2025 mock draft
One former NFL GM is just like the rest of us and has the Indianapolis Colts taking tight end Tyler Warren in his latest mock draft.
Mike Tannenbaum, who was the New York Jets' GM from 2006 through 2012, put together his first mock draft of the offseason over at ESPN. And like many other mock drafts out there, Tannenbaum couldn't pass up on adding Warren to the Colts offense.
"Warren has a rare skill set at tight end," wrote Tannenbaum. "He's 6-foot-6 and extremely talented. He had a remarkable 104 catches last season, and I envision Indy coach Shane Steichen moving him all around the offense to create matchup mismatches."
The Colts need a greater pass-catching presence at tight end, which Warren can provide, totaling over 1,200 yards and 100 receptions during the 2024 season. However, he brings much more to an offense than just that element.
Warren can line up across the formation, helping to create mismatches, and he's also a very capable run-blocker. That do-it-all play style at the tight end position can add a level of unpredictability to an offense because pre-snap, defenses can't as easily decipher what's coming due to the variety of roles that player can fill.
Warren's fit with the Colts is an obvious one. The big question, however, is whether he will be available at pick No. 14. He's widely considered a top 10 prospect overall, and there are a lot of teams who could benefit from what Warren can add.
