Breaking down Colts picks in latest 3-round 2025 NFL mock draft

Connor Rogers of NBC Sports put together version 3.0 of his 2025 NFL mock draft, which was a three-rounder.

So who did the Indianapolis Colts come away with?Let's break down those selections with our instant reactions to each pick.Pick 14: Colston Loveland, TE, MichiganThe Colts need a pass-catching presence, and Loveland can provide that.

He can line up in the slot or out wide and attack each level of the field in a variety of ways.

That presence in the passing game can help create opportunities for others as well.While Loveland is considered the best pure pass-catching tight end in this class, not to be forgotten about in Shane Steichen's offense is the importance of the tight end position being able to contribute as a blocker.Pick 45: Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio StateThe Colts need to bolster their depth along the interior--not to mention that competition at right guard wouldn't be a bad thing--and they also need to create competition for the swing tackle role off the bench.Jackson spent most of his career playing left guard, but he did play over 500 snaps at left tackle this past season.

He's routinely graded out well against the run by PFF's metrics, and he allowed two sacks and 19 pressures over 422 pass-blocking snaps.Pick 80: Lathan Ransom, S, Ohio StateEven with the addition of Cam Bynum, this is a position where depth is needed.

Behind Bynum and Nick Cross on the depth chart currently is Daniel Scott, Rodney Thomas, and Marcel Dabo.Ransom has played all over the secondary, with over 1,000 snaps at free safety, 711 from the box, and 632 in the slot.

He was among PFF's top graded safeties against the run in 2024, while he allowed 13.0 yards per catch in coverage with an interception and a pass breakup.This article originally appeared on Colts Wire: Colts 3-round mock draft: Breaking down the latest selections.
