Who did the Indianapolis Colts end up selecting in this seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft?
It’s not often that at this early stage of the pre-draft process do we see a full seven-round NFL mock draft. So when one does pop up, we’ve got to break down and react to each of the Colts’ selections.
Ian Cummings of Pro Football Network recently made each pick for all 32 teams over the full seven rounds of the draft. Here is who he had the Colts taking and what you need to know:
Pick 14: Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
Starks would be a “perfect fit” for Lou Anarumo’s defense, wrote Cummings. His versatility and ability to play both the run and the pass would mesh well with Anarumo’s disguise-heavy scheme. And if you’re wondering, Cummings had the Colts making this pick with Tyler Warren still on the board.
Pick 45: Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
Morrison’s 2024 season was ended in October after he underwent hip surgery. However, through six games, he allowed a completion rate of just 44% and 10.4 yards per catch. His career completion rate when targeted is 46% and includes nine interceptions and 12 pass breakups over three seasons.
Pick 80: Harold Fanin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
We know the Colts need an added presence in the passing game at the tight end position–well, here you go. Fanin is undersized at 238 pounds but led all of college football in receiving yards at the tight end position with 1,555 in 2024. Fanin has ample experience lining up from the slot and out wide.
Pick 116: Ty Robinson, IDL, Nebraska
The Colts depth along the interior behind Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner has to improve. Robinson would total 42 pressures, six sacks, and graded out well against the run, according to PFF’s metrics.
Pick 152: Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Virginia Tech
Jonathan Taylor is still under contract, but improved depth behind him could help to reduce his workload over the course of a long NFL season. The Colts could also benefit from having a passing game threat out of the backfield as well. Tuten rushed for over 1,100 yards in two of the last three seasons and has 118 targets in the passing game in his four college seasons.
Pick 191: Brian Stevens, C, Virginia
The extent to which the Colts have to address the offensive line will be dependent upon whether Will Fries returns. But even if he’s re-signed, interior depth is still needed with Ryan Kelly, Mark Glowinski and Danny Pinter free agents as well. Stevens has been very good in pass-protection throughout his career and has been graded as an above average run-blocker as well.
Pick 234: Daniel Jackson, WR, Minnesota
Wide receiver is probably the last position the Colts have to address, but in the latter portion of the draft, team needs take a back seat. Primarily a boundary receiver, Jackson has totaled nearly 1,700 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns the last two seasons combined.
