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

[rlemieux]

Not an LSU fan but Mason Taylor stands out to me. He’s an all around TE.

I always trade back and grab Loveland instead. If you want an impactful TE this is the way.

Briningstool is one of the best last names in football history and I am rooting for the Saints to draft him on Day 3.

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?

This is the case with a another one of the TE's in this draft it seems. Loveland also is less effective starting on the line with his hand in the dirt and should probably be viewed as a WR.

He was drafted as a WR and played WR at Hofstra. It was a mistake for him to every be listed as a TE anywhere which led to Yahoo keeping him TE eligible in fantasy football creating a hack that let teams place a stud WR into a TE position.

With all that said, we have a converted WR on the roster who played some WR again at the end of last season. Fannin could potentially occupy the same space and for that reason, I'd almost prefer a more complete TE.

Another player occupying that WR/TE space in the draft is Oronde Gadsen II who's listed at 6'5" 236lbs. Reading up on him, it looks like teams have asked him to workout at different weights so he was a different weight at the East/West Shrine Game, NFL Combine and Pro Day.

There's discussion out there about Colston Loveland being more of a X or split out TE than an inline TE. Mike Gisecki is being use that way with the Bengals and he's found success there as a big weapon for Burrow.

Funny you mention that, I was just typing up the same.

He’s a TE. He was 6’3” 241lbs at the combine. He is similar in size within an inch and 5lbs (or even bigger) to guys like Brock Bowers, Sam Laporta, Dalton Kincaid, Tre Mcbride, Evan Engram, etc. He has shown he is very capable as a blocker at that size. Fannin will certainly be moved around a lot like a chess piece as he’s shown versatility at Bowling Green to make plays from different alignments. He’s also one of the youngest players in the draft and will probably naturally add a little bit more weight over the next few years as well.

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).

I don't think we well select a TE before the 3rd round...
so these are TE that I think we well be looking at drafting...
