    They are the cherry on top of a good team. It's kind of wild to think that almost every tight end in the league we consider elite is on a team that always makes it to the playoffs pretty deep.

      True. And think about it, the two most dominant QBs the last 10 years have were Mahomes and Brady and both of them made a living off throwing to a superstar TE. Having a TE of Gronk or Kelce’s status is just as valuable as anything.

    Definitely not a bad idea to draft a TE first round if your a team that made it deep in a playoffs and you don’t have serious needs at other positions.

    One thing that should be noted is the two best TEs in nfl were later picks. Travis kelce was a 3rd round pick, and George Kittle was a 5th round pick.

    A good dual threat TE will give defenses absolute hell if you don't criminally misuse them. A good dual threat TE is also an extremely safe pick

    the math says yes...but that all depends on the player of course and if you plan on using their skill set enough to warrant 1st round capital...the highest percent chance to get a player who wont bust is historically a 1st round TE...the question is, are you reaching or not...
    there have been plenty of statistical surveys of the nfl draft and they clearly say 1st round TEs have the highest hit rate than any other position...soooo again yes it is worth it...if there is a player worth the pick you are using :P reaching is almost always a mistake.

    Well, years ago Marty and King Carl spent a first round pick on a TE, he turned out okay. Several years later Andy and John Dorsey drafted a TE in the 3rd round who turned out even better. So the moral of the story is: Pay your scouting dept.

  • @donaldsimmons4526
    @donaldsimmons4526 21 день тому +1

    Here's my thing a out TEs in general in the draft. If both the OC and QB don't see and have internalized the TE as a serious option, it doesn't matter how good the TE is. He'll never get targets. I've seen undrafted TEs have great years and 1st rounders just run cardio. It's about usage and draft status, anecdotally at least, doesn't matter.

    @aaronbryce990 21 день тому

    It's definitely worth it, but it does seem like unlocking elite tight end play requires a quality quarterback (see Atlanta) compared to just having a wideout who can create separation. To be fair, a lot of the top tight ends were not selected in the first rounds for injury reasons (gronk) or character/switched position in college (kelce and waller). Also, evaluation has been a lot better in recent years and a lot less dependent on raw numbers and more traits based, for example I don't think that a guy with the profile george kittle had in 2017 would slip past the second round nowadays.

    Before I watch, I see Bowers as an exception because he is essentially like a cheaper WR than he is a TE with his skill set but has the potential to elite and create bad mismatches for opposing defenses

    I hope the Chicago Bears SPRINT to the podium for Brock Bowers if he's on the board at #9. The Bears are taking Caleb Williams and have Shane Waldron who's base offense is a 12 personel. Bowers is the logical choice for the Bears at #9 and the best choice too.

    As a Jets fan, I dont want any part of Bowers. Would be poor resource allocation. I'm in the trade down camp and getting back a 2nd. Use 1st and 2nd rounds to shore up OL and WR respectively. Cant go on a run if we cant make the OL stout.

      "Comically overrated"? Have you watched college football specifically Georgia? Look at Georgia stats with and without Bowers. Some teams main defensive plan was don't let them get Bowers the ball similar to how NFL teams treat Kelce....so overrated? 😂 Now, will his skill translate to the NFL time will tell. The video here makes a good point about spread between good and great TE maybe not be worth a top draft pick.

    I'm a Washington fan I wouldn't mind them drafting Bowers at 2, and grabbing a qb later... I'd rather move back a few spots but Bowers is going to be a problem in the Nfl.... Also not sold on Jayden Daniel's, or Maye... I'm aware that wont happen but the tops qbs don't have me convinced.... I think Caleb could be good, but don't want a pink phone case, painted nails, in the closet gay quarterback if I'm being honest.

    Should always draft a punter in the first round. Field position is everything. A good punter sets up the defense and a defensive stop sets up the offense
