2024 Tight End class - Page 6

I don't have anything remarkable to talk about here but I wanted to talk about this guy and didn't see a TE thread.

Cade Stover, TE for Ohio State. I'm really impressed by him. I think I'd be willing to trade up in the 3rd or maybe even take him in the 2nd depending on how he tests.

He's just a really polished catcher, he's very physical. He's a little shorter than I like in a TE especially if he measures more like 6'2'' than the 6'4'' he's listed at. In either event, I think he's the guy I'm zoning in on in this draft since Bowers is a pipe dream.

Anybody have a guy out there they're particularly interested in that may be within range? If so, who and what round?

I saw a mock draft (CBS maybe?) that had KC selecting Bowers at 32.

It was possibly the dumbest mock draft I've ever seen from a "professional".

He ain't going too late, probably.

I've moved him up into my 4th round set. Brugler thinks 3rd round.

Size/speed combos at the position are at a premium this year. I mean really, ideal guys are Johnson, Wiley, McLachlan, Reiman, and All...

Johnson has some legal shit in his duffle bag (assault, etc) and he's raw.
McLachlan is fucking 25 already.
Reiman needs a lot of route work.
All is an injury report all on his own.

The rest are short or slow or both. The bulk of the class is at least a shade under 6'4". Oof.

AND he has good size.

lol. One was supposed to be speed.

But then I saw his pro day results and he ran a 5.0 40.

Umm. Yikes.

After Brock Bowers, the TE position in the 2024 draft class is more of a pick your flavor position.

There’s seam pass catchers (JT Sanders, Wiley, Johnson, etc.), move/match-up TEs (Sinnott, Holker, Bell, etc.), and reliable blockers (Barner, Spann-Ford, Isaac Rex, Zach Heins).… pic.twitter.com/79X1Q0IQXS

I think so

What I like most about him is his progression year over year

With the signing of Smith Jr. I think I would see if I could snag Devin Culp in the 7th, or bring him in as a UDFA.

Unless they really love one specific guy, I think Irv Smith Jr. makes tight end less important in the draft.

I think some teams will look at Johnny Wilson, WR out of FSU as a Kyle Pitts type of TE. He needs to gain at least 10lbs but has the frame.

Go watch some of his highlights. Reminds me of Kelce in a lot of ways.

Ya I've just now started reading about TEs.

Do you think its possible for him to make the switch? He runs and catches very similar to the play stye of Kelce
[Reply]

I really want this guy badly. He would be an awesome post Kelce
TE.

Jared Wiley is exactly the type of big MOF target the Chiefs need pic.twitter.com/yGYCpKQWtp
