Trevor Sikkema from recently put together a three-round mock draft for the 2025 NFL. So who did he select from the Indianapolis Colts and what do you need to know about these prospects?
Of course, with the actual NFL draft still months away, a lot will change between now and then. Teams' needs can change depending on how the rest of the season goes and what happens in free agency, not to mention prospects move up and down draft boards during the pre-draft process.
But what we do know right now is that the Colts have three picks in the top 100 of the upcoming draft and some positions that are needed include tight end, linebacker, running back and both secondaries.
With that in mind, let's do a quick breakdown of all the Colts picks from Sikkema's mock draft:
1.15: Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
Height: 6’6″
Weight: 261
Tear down: The Colts need more production in the passing game from the tight end position – that hasn't been there for much of this season. Warren would provide that, along with a comprehensive skill set as a blocker that would make him ideal for Shane Steichen's offense with his versatility and add an element of unpredictability to the Colts' offense.
2.47: Kamari Ramsey, S, USC
Height: 6’0″
Weight: 204
Tear down: Nick Cross's play this season has been a promising development, but safety remains a big need next season as Julian Blackmon is set to hit free agency and Rodney Thomas is the only other safety signed alongside Cross. Ramsey has played both deep and in the box/slot this season, but when paired with Cross, he could 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
Tear down: The development of second-year Jaylon Jones coupled with Kenny Moore at the position and the emergence of Samuel Womack has brought stability to the cornerback position. But at least bolstering depth in 2025 is a necessity. Dotson is a veteran player with over 2,700 defensive snaps in his career. This season, he has a 57% completion rate with 12.7 yards per catch, six pass breakups and five interceptions at the boundary.
