Episode notes
Tight End Position Weak Now
- The tight end position is currently very weak with only two standout players: Brock Bowers and Trey McBride.
- After these two, the talent pool sharply declines, making late-round tight end picks risky and unpredictable.
Hawkinson: A Ranking Challenge
- T.J. Hawkinson is a challenging tight end to rank due to health and offensive system uncertainties.
- Despite these doubts, he remains a popular early-round pick, complicating draft strategy.
Sleeper Recommendation: Hunter Henry
- Consider Hunter Henry as a sleeper pick due to expected improvement in the offense.
- He offers good target volume and red zone involvement at a bargain price in later rounds.
