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.

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.

While Hunter was drafted to play two positions, he will be paid as if he is playing at one, for now. According to Spotrac, being taken second overall means Hunter will sign a four-year deal valued at over $48.7 million. A mark that means he will be paid over $12.1 million per year.
