General Tso Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Blue chip TE prospect. Runs great routes. We'll see if he stays at his current weight. That being said, if you look at the current draft order https://www.tankathon.com/nfl (Not finalized obviously). Who realistically can say to themselves "yeah I'm good at other positions, let's take this guy". Kyle Pitts was taken at 4 and I wouldn't say he's changed life in ATL. Not entirely his fault, but I think that's the nature of the position he plays. Maybe Arizona (ironically) at 4? If they keep Kyler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Well, the injury throws things into uncertainty, of course. I think it’s tough to imagine him going in the top 10, regardless of who is picking. There look to be a number of blue chips at higher value positions, and he definitely won’t go ahead of them.

INbengalfan Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 With the injury, I could seem him drop into the teens, and maybe that helps him, where a couple of AFC teams that miss the playoffs will be sitting with a small trade up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NudeTayne Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 12-20 is the range I think he goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Too high for a TE. I think he is going to go top 10, probably in that 7-12 range right after the top tier prospects at premium positions get taken. However, we have close to 20 years of evidence that says taking a TE in the 1st round is never going to give you the return based on draft slot soooo.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Where the Indianapolis Colts select, they might have to trade a TE away or two because they currently have a big variety of them to make room. But think of Brock Bowers on that offense with a power run game and Richardson as a big QB who can run as well. Could be really dangerous and Bowers I imagine will play a ton in the slot in the NFL as a flex TE and be moved around similar to what he does in college. Hopefully he can still workout athletically, would be curious just how fast he is and how athletic he is at the combine. Also curious how Georgia will do without their absolute superstar on offense for the last few seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Drive Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 He will go in the top 10. He's a great player and the injury wont hurt his draft status at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason pitts isn't producing as he should is 1) a Horrible QB and 2) scheme and being misused. U put pitts on the jags and let him replace engram and it's an easy switch.

Daniel Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Titans pick might be a good floor. They're gonna probably be picking in the 10-15 range, and it's hard for me to imagine a player still being on the board that would be a better get than Bowers. Titans are gonna need receivers and OLs badly, but a TE kind of band-aids both of those problems. I still think we're looking at 3 QBs, 2 OTs, a couple of Edges, and probably 2 WRs that go off the board before Bowers. Premium positions get premium picks.

I like Newton, but I think interior DL is seen as lower value than the true premium positions. And for their positions, Bowers is a better TE prospect than Newton is a DL prospect IMO, so that might depend on fit. The true premium positions are QB (which we all know is go tier positional value), OT, WR, Edge, and CB. Everything else is secondary or tertiary.

Titans have big Jeff taking over from Jurrell Casey. I love me a great IDL. But I also think that, across the board, they are considered less valuable than the premium positions. And I don't think Newton is on that level either. Granted, I've only watched one full game of his this year, but I don't think he's blue chip DL level yet. He absolutely could go before Bowers, but he's not someone I think will go before Brock Bowers. If I had to put money on it, I'd put money on him going after him. Titans will have needs at DT and TE this offseason, but if both players are on the board when Tennessee picks, I take Bowers ten times out of ten.

But I will take the penetrating DT over the TE all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
