TE Brock Bowers, LV (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
Am hoping he goes to a team with a decent offensive line, otherwise he’s going to be blocking too much for early fantasy success IMO.
He’ll probably be the x-factor in many drafts on where he goes, before Nabers or Odunze? At the moment looks like a good chance (pre-combine and all) that all of these guys go in the top 10 of the nfl draft along with MHJr. Probably depends on what the guys at the 2-5 picks have at TE in a particular league.

I know it’s a meme but seeing that pic of him looking scrawny as hell does have me a little spooked. Still think he’s a total stud but when I watch him, I see Ditka and the guy in those pics sure doesn’t look like Ditka so not sure how to reconcile it. Probably just bet on him.

It took me a VERY long time to stop not drafting the skinny WR's like Devonta/Tank Dell/Calvin Ridley etc.
Not making the mistake with tight ends like this. It actually is exactly what I need to be able to draft this guy at a decent spot in rookie drafts

I got no problem with the slinky WRs, been ahead of the curve on that one. I do wonder about it with Bowers because he looks like a total joke in street clothes compared to the guy I see on film. Don’t think it’s enough to bother me other than to sort Odunze above him, just saying. It’s weird lol. I’ll bet on the tape but yeah right now tiebreaker goes Odunze over him.

I agree. He IS standing next to Gronk who is a very large man, so that is part of it as well. But yeah if I saw him in a grocery store I wouldn't think "Best tight end prospect in history" or even think he might play football if I am being honest haha

That pic is screaming Nikola Jokic v2.0. No drip, no sauce, looking weak and sloppy... And well, you know the rest....

Jonnu Smith did pretty good and they have Kyle Pitts. No way do they need a TE. It's not as if they are a contender and have luxury picks.

I know everyone likes a Caleb/WR combo at 1/9, but handing a rookie QB two pass catching TEs with DJ Moore is great.
And the WRs are there in the 2nd and 3rd.

Jeremiah just dropped his last mock and has him going 18th to the Bengals.

Yet oddly enough, the 2 best TEs of the last however many years starred in the SB.
An elite TE is a cheat code in the NFL... this guy is touted as the college GOAT.... I think he goes WAY earlier than 18

Yes those TE's are good. They were also drafted in the 3rd and 5th round.I don't know about that, TE is not a premium position.He won't last to that pick anyway, so it is moot.Jonnu Smith did pretty good and they have Kyle Pitts.

And despite those two possibly being the best TE's in the game if they comped against just OT's, which this draft is abundant in, Kittle would be the 24th highest paid OT and Kelce would be the 26th.
19 WR's get paid more then both of them so if a team wants a pass catcher hard for me to see Bowers at least waiting till the Big 3 land.
They'd be coming in around the 20th highest paid edge rusher, think a lot of teams will see more value in Turner.
In the end I agree with you he'll likely go before 18, but I think dropping into double digits is very probable because again it's not one of the more premium positions based on pay scale and that's a big component in driving teams drafting decisions.

He makes Dallas Clark look like a slug. Lazy comparison.

There is a part of me that wonders if Kyle Pitts suddenly looks worth his draft capital with Arthur Smith gone.
Bowers is a better prospect than Pitts was in my opinion. Pitts had unprecedented size/speed but Bowers is a much better route runner.
My personal opinion is whoever takes Jayden Daniels over the likes of Harrison/Nabers/Bowers is doing themselves a disservice and reaching for need/QB desperation.

To that end, landing spot is (obviously) going to be big for Bowers. If he goes to the Chargers, as many mocks show, that could be big. Hadn’t heard the Colts before the link above, which would make Richardson owners giddy, but the Colts would almost certainly have to trade up to get him.
If he doesn't go to the Chargers, the Jets with Rodgers looks pretty interesting, and maybe the Titans depending on if Callahan can develop Levis.
If I was doing a mock today I'd probably put him at 15 to the Colts and tend to think the Chargers will pass, the Jets will hate to pass but need OT to bad and unless no one moves in front of the Colts I think that's where he's most likely to go.
And fwiw I think Pitts and Bowers are really different receiving talents that just both happen to play the same position. I think Pitts is a better outside receiver, Bowers better in the middle and YAC. Nothing about Pitts is scaring me off Bowers, but then again I'm a Pitts buyer now.

If he goes to the Jets then I'm done as a Jets fan. There's no need and the line is abysmal. TEs block, but they can't catch and block at the same time. We need a tackle in a draft that has them in abundance. You can punch Joe Douglas's ticket out of town if he picks Bowers. They have Jeremy Rucker and Tyler Conklin. Close enough for government work, I say.
They need the positional value.
The only players that aren't tackles that I'd advocate for are Harrison Jr. and Nabers, and they won't be there at ten, so the point is all moot anyway. Rodgers needs help staying upright and healthy, not a TE getting adjusted to the professional game.

I don't think Rodgers is a fool. He knows he needs a lineman. If he wants Bowers, by all means draft Bowers, but I'm pretty sure that's not who he wants. I can't remember a TE getting a high volume of targets with Rodgers. Finley came the closest to a big target share, but we all remember that he never got what his fantasy GMs thought was appropriate.
What it would be like the Jets to do is to have pushed all-in on this year for Rodgers and draft somebody he doesn't want. That would be Jets-esque.

I don’t see them going after Bowers - Rodgers has maybe a year or two left and won’t be enamored of a rookie to deal with. They’re more likely to overpay for a Gabe Davis or someone of that ilk.
