The Indianapolis Colts own the 14th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. In a perfect world, they would use that pick to draft Penn State tight end Tyler Warren.<\/p>\n
However, the Colts aren’t the only team with Warren on their wish list. That means there’s a good chance that he’s not available at No. 14. Indianapolis could do whatever it takes<\/a> to land Warren by trading up. But that’s probably not going to happen. Here are three first-round prospects who the Colts could take if Tyler Warren is off the board.<\/p>\n The Colts undoubtedly need help at the linebacker position. Earlier this offseason, they lost Grant Stuard<\/a> to the Detroit Lions. Then recently, fellow free agent E.J. Speed left and signed<\/a> with the rival Houston Texans.<\/p>\n Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell<\/a> could help out. In 2024, he had 117 combined tackles (12 for loss), five sacks, an interception, two passes defensed, and two forced fumbles. He was named First-Team All-SEC.<\/p>\n Campbell is perhaps the most versatile linebacker in this draft. Plus, he\u2019s explosive and possesses excellent speed and physicality. He has the ability to collect tackles on inside runs and helps out in pass-rush opportunities off the edge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin<\/a> is coming off a Pro Bowl season, recording 173 tackles. The addition of Campbell would give Indy an outstanding duo to build around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Again, Tyler Warren would be a great addition. However, he isn’t the only tight end the Colts could land in the first round. Michigan\u2019s Colston Loveland<\/a> should be available at No. 14.<\/p>\n Loveland recorded 582 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games last season. No, those aren’t exactly superstar numbers. But they\u2019re impressive, considering Michigan had one of the worst passing offenses in the country.<\/p>\nFirst-Round Draft Targets for the Indianapolis Colts Not Named Tyler Warren<\/h2>\n
