rewrite: “Field Yates had Tyler Warren as his top tight end in the draft, making this pick at No. 14 a steal for the Colts. Warren is expected to become a key target. The Colts are still sorting out their QB situation, but whoever is under centre will have a wrecking ball to throw to in Warren.”

Yates calls him a ‘plug-and-play addition’ for Seattle.”
