Colts Star Tyler Warren from Major Preseason Honor<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first round of the NFL draft took place Thursday night and it was full of twists and turns.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Bears shocked the world when they took Michigan\u2019s Colston Loveland with the No. 10 pick.<\/p>\n

Loveland is a good player, but almost no one viewed him as the best tight end in the draft.<\/p>\n

The Indianapolis Colts had been linked to a tight end with their first-round pick for months, it was just a matter of which one was still available.<\/p>\n

The Bears\u2019 unexpected pick allowed Penn State phenom Tyler Warren to fall right into the Colts\u2019 lap at the 14th pick.<\/p>\n

Because of the lack of elite playmakers that Indianapolis possesses, Warren is expected to play a large role in the offense immediately.<\/p>\n

He is an extremely versatile player that took snaps at tight end, wide receiver, slot receiver, fullback, running back, and even quarterback last season.<\/p>\n

With the assumption that he will warrant a bunch of touches early on in his career, there is a good chance that he earns some hardware in his rookie season.<\/p>\n

However, Gennaro Filice of NFL.com predicted the NFL\u2019s All-Rookie teams and had Loveland being honored over Warren<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To be fair to Loveland, the Bears are in a much better offensive situation than the Colts, so that could be a determining factor.<\/p>\n

Chicago has Caleb Williams under center who is widely expected to be a megastar at some point in his career, and they just recently hired Ben Johnson as their head coach, who is considered an offensive mastermind.<\/p>\n

However, Warren has earned rave reviews so far during minicamps, so it\u2019s hard not to imagine that his early success will carry over to the regular season.<\/p>\n

As we get closer to training camp and see the two men on the field during preseason, we will get a better understanding of who is further along so far.<\/p>\n
