With the Indianapolis Colts' 2024 season behind us, now the focus really begins to turn to the 2025 NFL draft. What we know right now is that the Colts will hold the 14th overall selection in the first round.

The No. 4 spot on the draft board is still a premium draft selection, and the Patriots will have a crack at one of the top-four players in college football. It might make them less likely to trade the pick now out of fear of missing on a potential game-changer right out of the gates.

Take: The effects of trading away Brian Burns were sorely felt by a defense that ranked last in the NFL in pass rush win rate, according to ESPN, through Week 17. In racking up 11 sacks en route to earning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Carter proved he can wreck offensive game plans with regularity.

The Bears are in a prime position to shore up the offensive line for quarterback Caleb Williams with $80 million in salary cap space and the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. But outside of former first-round pick Darnell Wright, general manager Ryan Poles hasn't hit on offensive linemen. Could that change in this year's draft?
