Episode notes
Elite Three-Player TE Tier
- Brock Bowers, Trey McBride and George Kittle form an elite TE tier going in rounds two–three this year.
- Each has different strengths: Bowers = upside, McBride = volume, Kittle = boom weeks and consistent high floor.
McBride’s Volume Versus TD Allergy
- Trey McBride’s elite volume may be slightly threatened by Marvin Harrison Jr.’s development and target shift.
- McBride’s persistent low touchdown rate remains a real concern for upside.
Prioritize Kittle For Value And Upside
- Target George Kittle as your primary elite TE due to consistent high per-game production and upside if he's used more without Deebo.
- Draft Kittle earlier than consensus; he's often available late third/early fourth but should be valued higher.
