The #Bears haven’t drafted a TE since Cole Kmet in 2020. They could use a draft pick to develop his backup.
Thomas Fidone II from Nebraska is a guy I like on Day 3. Wasn’t utilized properly in college — athletic TE with ball skills and body control.

At #Syracuse Pro Day last week, Oronde Gadsden showcased the athleticism, burst and explosiveness testing-wise and on-field in front of NFL personnel.
His 40 time would've been 2nd best at the NFL Combine among tight ends.
In a strong tight end class, Gadsden remains one of, if not the, best slot match-up, redzone winner, third down target, and seam threat of the group.

Not complied by a scout. A lot of interesting rankings thou. Definitely a different take on several players.
With the new Raiders regime in place and them sitting with the 6th overall pick, this is the most optimistic time of the year for us raiders fans.Draft day for adults is comparable to Christmas when you were a child.
In the 1980s and part of the 90s my buddy and I used to say, it’s only the first quarter, hold them to a field goal, and I can’t wait until draft day. So, I know exactly how you feel.With the new Raiders regime in place and them sitting with the 6th overall pick, this is the most optimistic time of the year for us raiders fans.Draft day for adults is comparable to Christmas when you were a child.

I haven't heard a single peep about Oronde Gadsden II this draft cycle
My question is: WHY?
In this TE Class:
2.02 Career YPRR (3rd)
1.19 EPA per Play (2nd)
2.62 Best Season Yards per Team Pass Attempt (3rd)
55.3 Yards per Game (2nd)
0.39 TDs per Game (2nd)
25.1% Target Share (4th)
56.0% Career Contested Catch Rate (4th)
82.6+ PFF receiving Grade in 2022 & 2024
Blocking is functional
65.0 Pass Block Grade with a top 3 98.6 PBE
66.0 Run Block Grade (6th)
I get he's more big slot/converted WR but the blocking was far from an issue based on the metrics and my eyeballs
And 6'5 243lbs with an 8.22 RAS and 4.64 speed is THE prototype
The Prototype:
My current top 12 dynasty TEs - 6'5 246lbs, 4.60 speed and 8.78 RAS score on average
Seems like he could be a steal in TEP dynasty rookie drafts in round 3-4
