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

[webster]

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

I like him as a pass catching tightend, but we need a solid all round tightend. JJ can fill the role as a pass catching tightend.

Caden Prieskorn from Ole Miss, former QB. 6’6” 256lb late round steal.

There's a lot of talk that Harold Fannin Jr will actually end up playing as a WR. Marques Colston was originally listed as a TE in the 2006 draft. How do people see Fannin's best position?

He plays like a wideout.

There is something that I wanted to touch on and this seems like the spot. If a TE can take over a game with an ineffective QB there seems to be a dominate transition there to the NFL in histories past. Brock Bowers was the most recent. More notably Travis Kelce, Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates and quite a few others.

Watching Drew Allar, he meets the eyeball test for 2024 season as an ineffective QB. It was always Tyler Warren taking over the games. This doesn't mean Drew Allar won't take major progressions in 2025 to become a good, dominate QB. Just that he wasn't doing it in 2024, especially when comparing to Tyler Warren taking over the offense (I'll be watching Drew Allar in 2025 to see if this progressions occur, especially without Warren to rely on).

I always watch a player before stating my thoughts on him in definite manners and Tyler Warren certainly always had me super intrigued as the next best TE to come out of the draft, but the above reason just came to me this past weekend and gave me even more confidence in the likelihood of Warren becoming a dominate monster TE in the NFL, health barring.

It's also one of the many reasons I really like Luke Lachey (talk about bottom of the barrel QB throwing to him).

It's always been my theory that a great TE makes it easier for a young QB to transition to the league or make an ineffective QB look better.

I'm an LSU fan but typically not a huge "we have to take this guy because he was great at LSU" type......

Mason Taylor I think is going to be very, very good......

I'm really curious to see how he would respond to being a focal point of a passing attack. That didn't seem to happen at LSU. It felt like his skills were underutilized. At times it also felt like he struggled to get some separation, but I couldn't pinpoint why. It may not have been a him problem and more so a play calling problem, because LSU really did have some bad offensive play calling at times. I just never really focused on him much when watching LSU games.

I agree to some extent.....it's strange because it seemed he was more productive early in his career but 2024 was his best year statistical by a lot.....he seemed mostly under the radar to me though....

Good analysis. Thanks for sharing

Caden Prieskorn would be a late round steal.

 

[tjharris]

Loveland is the best TE in the draft but Warren is a better football player

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?

Jack Bech

 

[Tulsa Saint]

Luke Lachey.

Think he’s a guy a team will draft a round or even two before mockers think he should go.

And the team will be rewarded for it.
