The ESPN analyst liked the Colts' selection of tight end Tyler Warren, whom he ranked as something of a steal at No. 14 overall. Yates called the pick "value at a need," given that Warren could now enter training camp as the top tight end option for either Anthony Richardson or Daniel jones.

The Jaguars completed their first draft under the new regime. The haul included versatility, leadership, quality, experience and Travis Hunter.

Two of the Jacksonville Jaguars' 2025 NFL Draft selections earned high praise from ESPN’s Field Yates, landing on his list of top picks by round.
