INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 The Indianapolis Colts made quick work of getting their draft picks under contract, announcing Friday they had signed seven of eight selections including first-round pick Tyler Warren.<\/p>\n

Indy took Warren No. 14 overall<\/a> last month. The versatile, 2024 John Mackey Award winner from Penn State as the best tight end in college football is expected to provide a major upgrade at a position that produced some of the lowest stats in the NFL last year.<\/p>\n

That leaves second-round pick JT Tuimoloau, an edge rusher from Ohio State, as the only remained unsigned draft pick.<\/p>\n

Indy also announced it signed 15 undrafted rookies, waived two players and gave safety Marcel Debo the franchise\u2019s international player exemption.<\/p>\n

The other signed draft picks are cornerback Justin Walley, offensive lineman Jalen Travis, running back DJ Giddens, quarterback Riley Leonard, defensive lineman Tim Smith and safety Hunter Wohler.<\/p>\n

The announcements came as Indy held the first of two days of rookie minicamps this weekend.<\/p>\n
