A bit of a play on what Direkshun put together the past couple of seasons. I'll reserve the round grading, especially as of now. I'll keep adding to this as I progress through.

I could see a team like the Colts, Cowboys or Dolphins take him. In fact I think that’s exactly what will happen.
But goddamn is this a good TE class. We need to take another one
I haven't gotten too deep into it yet. Is it a good TE class or is it just really strong at the top?
Because strong at the top only matters if we'll take one in RD1.
And it may be the time to do so, but I kinda wonder if Andy doesn't trust in Andy here and thinks he can get the next stud TE out of much more raw clay like Wiley. [Reply]

Wiley’s a lock for canton. He got the TE rookie knee injury that propelled Kelce to all pro status. [Reply]
Top 5 TE’s look solid, I doubt the top 2 drop to us though and Fannin doesn’t have optimal size. Although, that didn’t stop us with Grey who's development I’m high on! [Reply]
Mason Taylor from LSU in the 3rd would be my guy at TE. I don't think we need to spend premium assets on a TE. If we spend assets to get into the top 20, it sure as hell better be for a LT or DE. [Reply]

Who are the top two? Warren and Loveland? I think I'd love Loveland I see glimpses of TK athleticism. [Reply]
Dude is 6-5, 236, with 4.5 speed producing ~950yds, ~14 yrds per rec, & ~7 TDS per season over 2 fully healthy years @ 82% PFF rating
"Exceptional athleticism for his size, blending wide receiver agility with tight end stature
Demonstrates elite acceleration and burst, creating mismatches against linebackers and safeties
Possesses advanced route-running skills, using fluid hips and sharp cuts to create separation
Versatile weapon who can line up in-line, in the slot, or split out wide
Dangerous after the catch, using his agility and speed to create additional yardage
85% hands ratings, 91% intermediate routes & 92% deep threat
Top Comps = Trey McBride, Cade Stover, Jared Wiley”

That's a really interesting idea. If he's willing to put in some work to get bigger and stronger and commit to being a move TE, could really pop... [Reply]

He seems like the kind of hybrid player Andy would love moving around and could get more out of than other coaches.
TE1 Grey, TE2 Wiley, & TE3/WR Gadsden would be a solid group for us when Kelce retires, maybe overkill.
Also we love deep speed and he’s a former track athlete that finished as the #2 TE for deep receptions. [Reply]

Looks like most mocks have him going 20-30.
He doesn't flash a lot of high-end potential, like his teammate Tuimoloau, but he is absolutely a very good player in a very similar mold to Karlaftis. He is tough, gritty, and has a high motor, but he lacks elite traits. His first step is really good and his power is good. I like him quite a bit. [Reply]

That’s exactly who I saw haha.
I go back and forth on the Ohio State Rb’s. But I think I can see Veach preferring Judkins. Only 21, and the dude is a MENACE in pass pro.
There’s so many rb’s to like in this class. I think the titans pick will be a prime spot to grab one [Reply]
