The NFL Scouting Combine has come and gone, and the 2025 NFL Draft has never felt closer.
Attending the event in Indianapolis allowed me to gather a lot of interesting information about the NFL and, specifically, the Indianapolis Colts. Given what I learned about the team and its top prospects, it only feels right to release a new seven-round Colts mock draft.
Colts 7 round 2025 NFL Mock Draft: Post NFL Scouting Combine
TRADE: Colts trade pick 14 to the Buccaneers for pick 19, 83 (third round) and a 2026 third
1st Round, Pick 19: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
At pick 14, I think the Colts would be wise to find a way to trade back if their top options are off the board. Here, they fall back five spots and land an extra top 100 pic this year and a third in 2026. They still land a premier talent in this class in Michigan's Colston Loveland, who is one of the top tight ends in this year's class. He is the top TE for some teams and will compete with Penn State's Tyler Warren to be the first off the board. Shane Steichen's comments on the TE position seem to point towards a superb route runner like Loveland being a target for the team this offseason. I still believe Warren is probably the Colts' personal TE 1 in the class, but if he is off the board at 14, I don't think the team believes Loveland is too far off and still worth taking in the first round.
2nd Round, Pick 45: Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina
East Carolina's Shavon Revel appears in a lot of first-round mock drafts. But the feeling in Indianapolis is that multiple corners have jumped him in this class because he is unable to compete on the field as he recovers from his torn ACL. If he is on the board in the second, like many at the combine seem to think he will, he would be a great fit for the Colts and Lou Anarumo's defense. And though he isn't cleared yet, the belief is that he will be ready for training camp.
3rd Round, Pick 80: Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
The Colts' need at safety isn't a secret, it was a struggle for the team last year, and starting FS Julian Blackmon is set to become a free agent. Texas' Andrew Mukuba projects as an FS but can also play SS. His coverage skills were apparent this past season, and his ball skills popped off the screen, with him leading the SEC with five interceptions. He also attacks ball carriers with aggression that will lead to getting a reaction from the fan base.
3rd Round, Pick 83: Tate Ratledge, G, Georgia
Georgia Tate Ratledge followed up his strong performance at the 2025 Senior Bowl with one of the best offensive line performances at the NFL Scouting Combine ever. He finished with a 4.97 40-yard dash, 7.38 3-cone, 32" vertical, and 9'5" broad jump. Ratledge projects as a day-one starter at guard and has some upside to also play center at the NFL level. With the Colts having both Ryan Kelly and Will Fries set to hit free agency, this would be a solid addition for them to consider.
4th Round, Pick 116: Damien Martinez, RB, Miami
Miami's Damien Martinez is one of the best fits at running back for the Colts in this year's class. Per source, he met with the Colts at the combine, and his combo of speed and size would make him a great backup for Jonathan Taylor. His ability as a pass blocker is evident on tape, and he showed off his speed at the combine by running an impressive 4.51 40 at his size. He would be able to carve out a role early in his career and offers some solid upside to develop into Taylor's future replacement.
5th Round, Pick 152: Teddye Buchanan, LB, California
California's Teddye Buchanan was a big winner from the Scouting Combine as he had a stellar performance in on-field drills. He's a dynamic athlete who will check a lot of boxes for the Colts and what they usually target at LB. His skill set projects him as an LB who could excel in coverage at the pro level with the right coaching.
6th Round, Pick 190: Cam Horsley, DT, Boston College
The Colts need to find a consistent contributor to back up Grover Stewart at nose tackle this offseason. They tried with Raekwon Davis, but the two sides don't seem to be a fit. Boston College's Cam Horsley was a dominant player in the run game. He earned an impressive 84.5 run defense grade from PFF and ended the season with a 14.4 run-stop rate. And how he moved in drills at the combine seems to point to him being more athletic than some may have thought early in this process.
7th Round, Pick 234: Ryan Fitzgerald, K, Florida State
Yep, you read that right, a kicker. The Colts have to have some concern about Matt Gay after his rocky tenure with the team since signing a large contract. Florida State's Ryan Fitzgerald was a perfect 13 for 13 on field goals this past year, five of which came from at least 50 yards out. If the Colts have him as the top kicker in the class, using their seventh-rounder to bypass the UDFA negation market could make a lot of sense.
