2025 Prospects I Like

Yeah, he's not Bowers.

Like I said, Fannin appears to be that 'mold' of TE out of this year's draft. The glorified H-Back sort like Bowers and McBride. Maybe calling him Bowers isn't fair, but maybe Kincaid?

Loveland maybe more a of Hockenson type?

And if a trade can't get made to get to Warren, I'd be fine staying put and seeing if Loveland fell. He'd be a really intriguing consolation prize.

I don't love Fannin though. Don't like the type of player, REALLY don't like the quality of competition.

I don’t see any way Warren falls out of the top 15. Everyone knows how good that guy is. I’m not excited about the fact that the Chargers and Broncos both need a TE badly bc I could totally see one of them go after him. And yeah after the combine he’s gonna be a riser.

I could see a team like the Colts, Cowboys or Dolphins take him. In fact I think that’s exactly what will happen.

But goddamn is this a good TE class. We need to take another one

I haven't gotten too deep into it yet. Is it a good TE class or is it just really strong at the top?

Because strong at the top only matters if we'll take one in RD1.

And it may be the time to do so, but I kinda wonder if Andy doesn't trust in Andy here and thinks he can get the next stud TE out of much more raw clay like Wiley.

Wiley’s a lock for canton. He got the TE rookie knee injury that propelled Kelce to all pro status.

Top 5 TE’s look solid, I doubt the top 2 drop to us though and Fannin doesn’t have optimal size. Although, that didn’t stop us with Grey who's development I’m high on!

Who are the top two? Warren and Loveland? I think I'd love Loveland I see glimpses of TK athleticism.

Mason Taylor from LSU in the 3rd would be my guy at TE. I don't think we need to spend premium assets on a TE. If we spend assets to get into the top 20, it sure as hell better be for a LT or DE.

Put me down for Gadsden out of Syracuse with our late 3rd or 4th: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oiz1PH8SNSI

Dude is 6-5, 236, with 4.5 speed producing ~950yds, ~14 yrds per rec, & ~7 TDS per season over 2 fully healthy years @ 82% PFF rating

"Exceptional athleticism for his size, blending wide receiver agility with tight end stature

Demonstrates elite acceleration and burst, creating mismatches against linebackers and safeties

Possesses advanced route-running skills, using fluid hips and sharp cuts to create separation

Versatile weapon who can line up in-line, in the slot, or split out wide

Dangerous after the catch, using his agility and speed to create additional yardage

85% hands ratings, 91% intermediate routes & 92% deep threat

Top Comps = Trey McBride, Cade Stover, Jared Wiley”

That's a really interesting idea. If he's willing to put in some work to get bigger and stronger and commit to being a move TE, could really pop...

He seems like the kind of hybrid player Andy would love moving around and could get more out of than other coaches.

TE1 Grey, TE2 Wiley, & TE3/WR Gadsden would be a solid group for us when Kelce retires, maybe overkill.

Also we love deep speed and he’s a former track athlete that finished as the #2 TE for deep receptions.

[RunKC]

Yeah I really really like this kid. Dominating SEC competition with power and speed the way Chris Jones did.

He’s good

[RunKC]

TreVeyon Henderson would be incredible here. Ideal fit for this offense.

Unfortunately we’d have to use our 1st on him and you just can’t do that

[RunKC]

Chiefs had the fewest runs of 10+ yards this year with 17.

Have to draft a RB. Great year for it

What do you guys think of Jack Sawyer as a pro? Whether Chiefs or not.

Looks like most mocks have him going 20-30.

He doesn't flash a lot of high-end potential, like his teammate Tuimoloau, but he is absolutely a very good player in a very similar mold to Karlaftis. He is tough, gritty, and has a high motor, but he lacks elite traits. His first step is really good and his power is good. I like him quite a bit.
