I like TE Payne Durham, Purdue or TE Luke Schoonmaker, Michigan at 4 (122) if we went earlier.

feels realistic!

Would be a nice pick up in the 7th for sure

I'd rather go early with a guy like Schoonmaker or just not at all. We have the projects and niche guys in that room already.

I understand that Kelce is getting long in the tooth, but the simple fact of the matter is that any young TE is not going to get a lot of targets when you have Travis Kelce.

It's entirely possible that Noah Gray is a legit first string NFL TE on most teams. We don't know, because he's behind Travis Kelce.

I don't think drafting a TE early is going to make much difference, either.

Even when we run 12 and 13 packages, Kelce's going to get the look first, and he's going to get the majority of TE targets. It's just the way it is.

The way is blocked until Kelce hangs it up or significantly regresses.

I just wouldn't worry about it for now. Gray's shown some game.

Yeah, a 3rd day TE doesn't make any sense to me. The TE room is actually pretty good. You're not likely to find a meaningful improvement on the 3 backups we have there so why bother?

If they don’t take one in the 2-4 round range, then they shouldn’t take one at all.

The only thing I could understand is if someone like Kuntz with a maaaaaasive learning curve ahead of him slid into 5. Then you could theoretically play Bell as more of an H back and all but redshirt Kuntz as a gameday inactive for a year while he learns how to be an actual TE.

Or if Schoonmaker slips due to being overaged - he's just an upgrade in every way on, well everyone on the roster apart from Kelce, IMO.

I think those 2 might be viable 5th rounders and my memory is we have the 1st pick in the 5th round so it's an early 5th (maybe I'm thinking of the 6th round though).

But the Durham, Allen, Ford, Willis group - those are just rookie versions of guys we have a bunch of. I'm just not terribly interested in them even late. They're redundant.

Kuntz is who I was specifically talking about and that's because I saw him being an option at 135.
