Top Tight End Cracks Top 5 In Latest Mock Draft

To some, Penn State tight end Tyler Warren is a top 5 player in the 2025 NFL draft, yet he's still commonly picked outside the top 10 in most mock drafts.

That's not the case in NFL Media's Adam Rank's latest projections, as Warren comes off the board at No. 5 by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"Love that you signed tight ends Hunter Long and Johnny Mundt in free agency, but that should not stop you from jumping at Warren, ranked as the sixth-best player in the class by both Daniel Jeremiah and Eric Edholm. As I mentioned in the intro, I urged the Raiders to draft tight end Brock Bowers in Round 1 last year, regardless of positional need, and it worked out pretty well for them. Jags, you should be stockpiling game-wreckers for Trevor Lawrence, and putting Warren and Brian Thomas Jr. in the same lineup would seriously help him. It's kind of like when Sting teamed up with Darby Allin in AEW. (I'm sure Tony Khan gets it.)," Rank wrote.

The Jaguars have been consistently linked to Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham throughout the pre-draft process. But recently, other players have been mocked to them, including Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.

While upgrading the defensive line with a player like Graham would be a smart approach, head coach Liam Coen would undoubtedly be ecstatic to get a playmaker like Jeanty or Warren.

Jacksonville added Hunter Long and Johnny Mundt to their tight end room, but they don't move the needle a ton.

Warren, the John Mackey Award winner, would make a difference as a receiver and an inline blocker. He would make quarterback Trevor Lawrence's life easier on the field alongside wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.
