Draft Note by John Paulsen
Warren was the second tight end off the board in April, landing with the Colts at No. 14 overall after a wildly productive senior season at Penn State (104-1,233-8). He’s a big-bodied, athletic target who profiles as an immediate contributor in the passing game. Historically, rookie tight ends struggle to produce fantasy-viable numbers, but Warren’s draft capital and college résumé suggest he could be an exception. The nine first-round tight ends since 2010 who played at least 14 games averaged 56 catches for 657 yards and 3.7 touchdowns as rookies. That’s 7.3 half-PPR points per game, or high-end TE2 production. Warren could hit or exceed that benchmark if the Colts make him a focal point early on. ESPN's Stephen Holder has reported that Warren saw the ball early and often in OTAs, and that offensive involvement has continued into training camp. He's an intriguing 10th-round pick with breakout potential.
