Who Are Your Favorite TE Prospects in the Draft Not Named Warren?

[Chuck McGill Esq.]

Let’s say the Saints do not draft Warren in the 1st round. Who is your next favorite TE prospect and where would you like to see the Saints draft him?

Arroyo mid round...Lachey late round...

Definitely keeping an eye on Arroyo!

Mason Taylor and I’m not just saying that because I’m a LSU fan

 

[NatureBoy]

Loveland and Loveland. He may be the #1 TE when it’s said and done.

I think Harold Fannin is a close 2nd as far as pass catching TEs go. Wouldn’t mind him in R2.

His movement after the catch is something special.

Let’s say the Saints do not draft Warren in the 1st round. Who is your next favorite TE prospect and where would you like to see the Saints draft him?

In this order (draft grade I have for them)


Tyler Warren- 1st
Colston Loveland- 1st
Mason Taylor- early-mid 2nd
Elijah Arroyo- early-mid 2nd
Gunner Helm- late 2nd - Early 3rd

Sneaky picks
Terrence Ferguson- 3rd
Jake Brinningstool- Mid 4th (receiving Slot TE)

In addition to the names already mentioned, I like C.J. Dippre from Alabama as a day 3 guy. Legit blocker with athleticism to develop as a receiving threat.

Mason Taylor and I’m not just saying that because I’m a LSU fan

Agree. MT is a baller. Kid reminds me of his dads traits. Tough. He may not have elite speed, but pretty much sure handed when he was at LSU. I think he could have really balled out in his final year IF the offense was ever tailored to use the TE as a go to. LSU mostly used the TE for blocking. I really do hope the Saints grab MT. You can bet Garrett will be in his dads ear on what he thinks of mason. Which may be a possibility if he is on the board. Don't think Mason goes pass the second round. He could even go First. Draft is never predictable as we all know.

Really like Harold Fannin. He is going to be a very good receiving threat at TE for whoever drafts him.

Loveland and Loveland. He may be the #1 TE when it’s said and done.

Go Blue!!

 

[El Caliente]

Late Round/UDFA TE prospect that I like is Caleb Lohner. Last season was his first playing football (after transferring from Baylor where he had played basketball).

He is 6’7 and ran a 4.6 40. He is raw, but you can’t coach size.

I think Colston Loveland is a better TE prospect than Warren by quite a bit tbh. But to answer this question - Mason Taylor, Gunnar Helm, Elijah Arroyo & I think Texas Tech TE Jalin Conyers is super underrated and will be a valuable draft pick for a team in the later rounds.

I would not be mad if the Saints spent #40 on Loveland or Taylor if Warren is off the table.
