Any time we get the opportunity to dive into a full seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft for the Indianapolis Colts, especially at this stage of the pre-draft process, we have to do it.
Ryan Roberts of AtoZ Sports recently put together a full seven-round mock draft, making all 257 total selections for the 32 NFL teams.
So, who did the Indianapolis Colts end up selecting with their seven selections? Let’s dive in.
Colts pick at 14: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
A popular pick for the Colts, and it’s easy to see why. They need a pass-catching threat at the tight end position, and Warren is coming off a 2024 season where he totaled over 1,200 receiving yards. But in addition to that, he’s also versatile–able to line up across the formation–and a very capable blocker.
Put all of those elements together, and you get a well-rounded skill-set that adds some unpredictability to the Colts offense because of all the different hats Warren can wear. This big question is, will he be available at pick 14?
Colts pick at 45: Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
Another big need for the Colts with the team needing improved play and depth on the back end. Mukuba has slot experience but mostly played free safety in 2024, which is the role the Colts would need him to fill.
He allowed a completion rate of just 43%, according to PFF, just 7.4 yards per catch and had five interceptions, along with six pass breakups. Lou Anarumo’s scheme puts a lot on the plate of the safety spot, so a reliable presence is a must.
Pick 80: Carson Schwesinger, LB, UCLA
Another position where depth is a need with EJ Speed and Grant Stuard set to be free agents, but skill-set-wise, what the Colts really need is an added coverage presence next to Zaire Franklin, which perhaps second-year linebacker Jaylon Carlies can provide.
Schwesinger was a very reliable tackler, making 133 of his 144 attempts last season. In coverage, he allowed a completion rate of 77% at 9.4 yards per catch with two interceptions and two pass breakups.
Pick 116: Will Howard, QB, Ohio State
There will be competition for Anthony Richardson this summer, but will GM Chris Ballard look to add that element through the draft? This is a fairly big swing, especially with the cornerback spot not having been addressed yet–unless that was taken care of in free agency.
Leading Ohio State to a National Championship in 2024, Howard had a career year, completing 73% of his passes for 4,0003 yards with 35 touchdowns to just 10 interceptions.
Pick 152: Jordan Hancock, CB, Ohio State
There’s the cornerback. Another position, like safety, where the play and competition has to be ramped up this season. The secondary is a unit that I expect the Colts to invest heavily into, something they’ve already done from a coaching standpoint.
Over the last two seasons, Hancock has allowed a completion rate of 57%, under 10 yards per catch and he has three interceptions and eight pass breakups during that span.
Pick 191: Jarquez Hunter, RB, Auburn
This year’s draft class is loaded at running back, so Ballard should make sure he adds to this position. For one, a reliable secondary back can take some of the workload off of Jonathan Taylor’s shoulders, and the Colts could benefit from a pass-catching presence at this position.
In four seasons, Hunter averaged 6.3 yards per carry with 25 touchdowns. He also averaged about 25 targets in the passing game per year over the last three seasons.
Pick 234: John Williams, OT, Cincinnati
Considering that this is the first offensive lineman selected, we’ll assume that the Colts re-signed Will Fries. However, even if that’s the case, depth at both tackle and the interior offensive line is a need.
Williams was a left tackle at Cincinnati and during the last two years, he’s allowed just three total sacks and 22 pressures over 874 pass-blocking snaps. For what it’s worth, by PFF’s metrics he’s graded out better as a pass-blocker than a run-blocker.
