Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus recently put together a three-round 2025 NFL mock draft. So who did he have the Indianapolis Colts selecting, and what do you need to know about those prospects?
Of course, with the actual NFL draft still months away, a lot is going to change between now and then. Team needs could shift depending on how the remainder of the season plays out, along with what happens in free agency, not to mention that prospects will move up and down draft boards during the pre-draft process.
But what we know right now is that the Colts have three picks in the top 100 of the upcoming draft, and a few positions of need include tight end, linebacker, running back, and both secondary positions.
With that in mind, let’s do a quick breakdown of each of the Colts’ picks from Sikkema’s mock draft:
1.15: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Height: 6’6″
Weight: 261
Breakdown: The Colts need more production in the passing game from the tight end position–it’s been mostly non-existent this season. Warren would provide that, along with a well-rounded skill set as a blocker that would make him an ideal fit for Shane Steichen’s offense with his versatility, adding an element of unpredictability to the Colts’ offense.
2.47: Kamari Ramsey, S, USC
Height: 6’0″
Weight: 204
Breakdown: The play of Nick Cross this season has been a promising development, but safety still remains a big need next offseason with Julian Blackmon set to hit free agency and Rodney Thomas the only other safety under contract along with Cross. Ramsey has played both deep and in the box/slot this season, but if paired with Cross, might be asked to fill the more traditional free safety role. Ramsey has five pass breakups and is holding opponents to just 7.4 yards per catch this season.
3.79: Mello Dotson, CB, Kansas
Height: 6’1″
Weight: 190
Breakdown: The development of Jaylon Jones in Year 2 coupled with Kenny Moore in the slot and the emergence of Samuel Womack has provided stability to the cornerback position. But at the minimum, bolstering the depth in 2025 is a necessity. Dotson is an experienced player with over 2,700 defensive snaps in his career. This season, he’s allowed a completion rate of 57% at 12.7 yards per catch with six pass breakups and five interceptions on the boundary.
