Tight End (4)

Roster Locks: Tyler Warren, Mo Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree, Will Mallory

Roster Cuts: Jelani Woods, Sean McKeon, Albert Okwuegbunam

 The Colts finally secured a game changer at the tight end position with the selection of Tyler Warren. While he is listed as a tight end, he is a football player. He can line up in multiple sets, even as a quarterback, as he was a high school quarterback. He will give a true security blanket to either Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones.

As for the roster portion, I think we could see the end of the Jelani Woods tenure. While the re-signing of Mo Alie-Cox was a surprise, it became clear that they value the veteran presence he brings, but also his blocking on the line. If Woods is healthy, then expect both him and Mallory to fight for that final spot. Until Woods shows he can stay healthy, I cannot in good conscience keep him on the roster.
