I'd counter that the jury is out on all of these college players too. I think there are greater needs at positions of way more importance right now.

I agree with everything else you are saying, but I doubt a rookie TE makes any impact behind Ertz AND McBride.

So I draft Kraft in round 2 or 3. I have him as insurance for Ertz and his injury and I give him the year to develop so he can make an impact next year when we need to move on from Ertz saving 8 mil. Perfect scenario.

If we could come away with Will Anderson, John Michael-Schmitz, and Tucker Kraft with our first three picks...that would be pretty awesome. Add in what we might be able to add with another 2nd from Hopkins and a third round compensatory pick. Easily could end with 5 picks in the first two days.

My only concern with moving Hopkins is that there isn't a great 2nd round type replacement for him this year.

I'd probably take a DL instead of a TE.

Maybe it's because I like McBride more than you do?

What do you think of Keanu Benton around the third round area?

With the comp pick, we have 5 in the first 105.

So conceivably, 5 of the top 100 prospects.

Going TE in the 2nd round two years in a row would be peak Keim kind of stuff. The player may be good/worth it, but we have too many holes to fill in a draft deep in those positions.

Disagree. If you are going to run multi TE sets, want to take advantage of a rarely talented draft class, and save 8 mil in 2024…draft a TE. The issue last year wasn’t McBride the draft pick, it was the fit for a system that doesn’t use them.

I think a lot of TEs in this class are better prospects than McBride was.

 

[Chopper0080]

McBride would be TE 5 or 6 in this class.

Prefer Mazi Smith. I don’t really love this DT class.

 

[DVontel]

Shouldn’t be worried about finding his replacement this year, tbh. This year is a wash regardless.

 

[YorkshireCardinal]

If we want Smith, I expect we’ll need to take him with our second rounder.

 

[juza76]

He had better numbers than Jordan Davis so it kinda depends on how you view him and how he translated to the NFL (one year, I know).

Btw Davis wasn't selected top 10
What i say u shouldn't draft with a top 3 a guy with those numbers, not worth the risk
Top 5 pick must have
Elite talent
Production
High Character guy
No significant Injury

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

McBride would be TE 5 or 6 in this class.

That many going first/high second? If Harry is right, he said mcbride would be drafted in just about same slot this year.

 

[BritCard]

#3 max. A TE with 1000 yards that can block ain't going #5 or#6.

Kiper and McShay say this is a bad draft for talent

Outside of Hutchinson - who the heck are the rest of those dudes? Are they still in college?

Those are some of the pass rushers available plus Aidan Hutchinson for reference.

Felix Anudike-Uzomah would probably be my prime target in round two if the Cardinals don't get Anderson. Will McDonald is another guy I'd like there

Yeah a bunch are in this years draft

TE is tough because it’s value is based upon the scheme. This draft is a little more interesting as the number of two way TE talent is abnormal. More inline guys who have receiving upside. I would argue that McBride would probably go 3rd round this draft as I think there will be a run on WRs late first and early to mid second.

 

[Chopper0080]

I think Mayer, Washington, Musgrove and Kincaid go in the first two rounds. LaPorta, and Kraft probably go early 3rd but have a late second grade.
