The Indianapolis Colts selected Youngstown State tight end Andrew Ogletree with the No. 192 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
Even after taking the uber-athletic Jalani Woods in the third round on Friday night, the Colts double down at the tight end position with the selection of Ogletree with their first pick in the sixth round.
Here is the scouting report on Ogletree from Dane Brugler’s draft guide:
“Andrew Ogletree lettered in basketball and football at Northridge High and earned all-state in both sports as a senior (also named the 2015-16 Division-III player of the year in basketball, averaging 14.5 points per game). He signed with Division-II Findlay as a receiver and set career-bests as a junior in 2018. After sitting out the 2019 season with a knee injury, he transferred to FCS-level Youngstown State for his final two seasons, starting every game at tight end in 2021. Ogletree plays with the agility and control of a smaller athlete and uses his long, galloping strides to work to open space. He has the catch radius to pull in difficult throws over defenders, but will also drop too many easy ones. He didn’t find the end zone at YSU. As a blocker, he is willing, but needs to improve his knee bend and aiming points to leverage his man. Overall, Ogletree’s stats don’t jump off the page, but his tape shows an agile-footed big man who is still discovering how good he can be.”
The Colts acquired this pick as a part of the trade with the Minnesota Vikings on Day 2 of the draft.
