When is the last time a rookie TE took the NFL by storm? Think this position is even harder to learn then WR. Personally I'd either trade for one or sign in FA. A rookie TE isn't going to have an impact until maybe year 3. Seen it time an time again teams drafting TE's in the 1st round only to trade them a couple of years later for peanuts. We do need an overhaul at the position tho... Last one that I recall was Jeremy Shockey. But I think he was just as often a big dumb goof as he was a terror on the field though.

But it's maybe surprising they haven't gone that direction in the 2 drafts since Bakhtiari's injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I see the Packers taking him. The Packers generally prefer their EDGE on the larger side (255+). Depending on what they do with Rasul Douglas, I could see them grabbing a CB (Christian Gonzalez). Bryan Bresee won't be on the board at that point, but he'd be hard to pass up if he's available.

I'm generally of the belief that you don't take RBs early, but Bijan Robinson is a stud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as high on Branch as I think others are, he's more of a late Day 1, early Day 2 type for me. I think he's a solid safety you plug back there for a decade, but I'm not sure he's an elite player at his position. Think Adrian Amos level of safety. The good news for Branch is that this safety class isn't very good, and anyone who wants a CB-to-S convert is going to like him a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the pundits never learn for us. I think it was ESPN (it was one of the big ones) that gave us Mayer. Then again, last year few of us would have seen an off-ball linebacker and 24 year old rookie taken in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back 30ish years there's only 4 RBs I would have definitely have as better prospects coming out than Robinson. Faulk, LT, AP, and Ricky Williams. That's my favorite all time college RBs and the list of guys that the first time I saw them I was like, "That's the guy!". Robinson is on that list too. Edge, Bush, and Saquon have really good cases of being better prospects as well. Long story short is yes he's a stud IMO. I'd have him somewhere in the 5-10 range of best prospects in the last 30ish years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 If you draft a TE in the top 20, you’re probably the Lions, Falcons or dumber. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
