The Indianapolis Colts have multiple needs they will need to address in the offseason. If they want to give Anthony Richardson the best chance of succeeding there's a clear position they have to upgrade at before the 2025 season kicks off. And in the newest A to Z Sports mock draft they give him what he needs most. A stable upgrade to their TE room by adding a former national champion. An early Christmas gift from me: A full 3, yes, Three round mock draft! -NYG takes QB1 -CLV rebuilds offense -DAL stacks playmakers -LAC build a real footballTM team More in link below pic.twitter.com/HBwyJmUSdj Colts land Michigan TE Colston Loveland in new mock draft "The battle for the TE1 spot between Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren will be one worth monitoring. However, I do think Loveland is a better athlete, and those tend to get drafted higher. The Colts' tight end room has been an utter disaster this season, and both them and Anthony Richardson need a dependable target somewhere in the offense. Loveland solves that problem" - New A to Z Sports mock draft Between now and April TE is going to be a popular position mocked to the Colts. There leading contrubior in the TE room is veteran Mo Alie-Cox who has appeared in all 15 games this season and has 12 receptions for 147 yards and one touchdown. A player like Richardson who struggles with accuracy would love a big target at TE that can be a safety blanket. Michigan's Colston Loveland has been a consistent contrubiro for the Wolviernes over the last two seasons. Thats despite the team's passing game not being a major part of their game plan in 2023, and their entire offense struggling tremendously in 2024. Loveland has shown he can be a next level weapon without elite QB play. And pairing him with a QB like Richardson who is always looking to make a big play could end up being a perfect match.

Boston to distribute Narcan via vending machines, kiosks to prevent opioid overdoses
Republicans in the state Legislature promised Friday to use confirmation hearings next month to sharply question Gov. Janet Mills’ nominee to represent utility ratepayers before regulators and in court cases. Heather Sanborn, the nominee for Maine Public Advocate, is a former Democratic state legislator from Portland. Rep. Reagan Paul, R-Winterport, a member of the Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee, said in the Republicans’ weekly radio address that members of the party plan to take advantage of the hearing to promote their energy policies that are virtually opposite the priorities of majority Democrats. She said GOP committee members will ask “fair, but tough questions” of Sanborn about offshore wind and incentives for solar developers. Public Advocate William Harwood announced earlier this month he will retire Jan. 31. He has warned of costs associated with net energy billing , a program that spells out how certain classes of solar developers are paid for the power generated by their projects. Paul and other Republicans have criticized net energy billing, calling it a costly ratepayer subsidy to out-of-state solar developers. Paul said Sanborn, when in the Legislature, voted against eliminating net energy billing. Mills welcomes a “full and fair review” by legislators of Sanborn, her office wrote in an email. “The governor remains deeply concerned about the high cost of energy and welcomes discussions during the upcoming legislative session about ways the state and region can stabilize and lower energy prices for Maine people. But what she is not interested in doing is doubling down to support the profits of fossil fuel companies that cost Maine people billions of dollars every year and harm their health and our environment.” Sanborn and Sen. Mark Lawrence, co-chairman of the Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee, did not immediately respond to an email and a phone call asking for a response to Paul’s comments. Paul, an opponent of offshore wind and supporter of nuclear power that has failed to advance in the Legislature, said Republicans will propose legislation that would cut consumers’ energy bills by “sharply reducing or eliminating net energy billing profit to out-of-state solar companies.” Minority Republicans in the Legislature have unsuccessfully tried to influence state energy policy by opposing offshore wind power, policies promoting broader electric vehicle use and incentives to solar developers. Among the questions Sanborn can expect are whether she’ll “prioritize the green agenda over affordability and reliability for ratepayers,” New England’s high energy costs and if she supports efforts to advance offshore wind that Paul characterized as the “most expensive and destructive form of energy.” The Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee will schedule Sanborn’s confirmation hearing in January and vote on whether to recommend her nomination to the Senate.
