Ok, you are probably watching the NFL draft and wondering who the Indianapolis Colts will select with the 14th overall selection. Perhaps the better question is from where will you be watching the draft? The majority of us will be watching from the comfort of our homes, while others will venture out to local bars and restaurants.

Photo by Todd Rosenberg/Getty Images We are one week out from the 2025 NFL Draft, and the rumor mill and mock drafts are in full swing. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone is hoping the Indianapolis Colts will select their top player in the first round. The first round of the draft is full of surprises, as you never really know what a team is going to do, especially if the Raiders are participating. Last year, the huge shocker was the Falcons selecting Michael Penix Jr. eighth overall.

Photo by John Smolek/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Indianapolis Colts have an opportunity in front of them next week to carve out an identity for this franchise. As it currently stands, they are neither a defensive team nor an offensive team. Fans cannot point to one side of the ball and say, “that is where the Colts hang their hat”. Chris Ballard has spent a majority of the offseason improving the defense with two key signings in Cam Bynum and Charvarius Ward.

Both sides agreed to continue their relationship at least one more season as the big man inked a one-year deal worth 2.2 million. There have been many rumors linking the Colts to a tight end in the draft this year.

Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images You don’t know what you got till it’s gone. After suiting up for the Indianapolis Colts for over a decade, Adam Vinatieri provided reliability, skill, and a level of clutch that was simply taken for granted. He would trot out on the field, and more times than not, Colts fans had zero worries he would come through. The bigger the moment, the brighter he would shine.

Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The Indianapolis Colts weren’t great in 2025. The defense was poor, and the offense wasn’t much better. If there was a group that stood out on a less than stellar team as the worst overall unit, it had to be the tight ends. The total lack of production and playmaking ability was overly apparent. It wasn't hard to forgot one was on the field at any particular time.

Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Michael Pittman Jr. struggled last year. In every statistical category his numbers slumped. He wasn’t alone as the offensive as a whole was in a sad state of ineptitude all season long. More quarterback changes lead to inconsistency which normally affects any team. Additionally, Pittman battled a back injury all season. It is a testament to his ability to fight through pain to be out there at all.

Clark Wade/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images NFL draft classes are full of players across varying abilities and levels of readiness. Some are raw while others are pro-ready. They all will take plenty of coaching and repetitions to acclimate to the NFL, but each player starts their journey at a different point. Chris Ballard and the Indianapolis Colts have normally been more than willing to be patient and develop the players they draft.

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Anyone who tells you they know who the Indianapolis Colts are going to draft this year is a liar. Every year there is a group of players that seem to be in range for every team that fit a need or is the best player available at that time. Educated guesses can be made, but to know for sure is impossible unless you are picking at the very top.
