There are likely 3 legit 1st round TE's, but it doesn't end there. Lots of talent at TE. I still have to look into Fannin, but a solid chance one of the top 3 are there for our pick (sadly, no chance Warren is).

I thought Belton looked better at OG than OT.
And it looked like those some of those OTs were getting some early jumps on a few of those reps.

I think there are a lot of groups that have some good players that can go on day 2 early day 3.

There's some that say Warren won't be the first TE drafted too. And i agree there are 7 or 8 TE that are good in this draft.

I can only dream of one more class as good as the last two.
If they could get two studs... at any of the positions they have a genuine need.. Corner, TE, LB, OL, WR... it would be pretty awesome.
I guess we'll have a better idea after FA gets going.

Man, I've been calling it with some of these guys. Anthony Belton, Ozzy Trapilo, Dorian Strong, Hollin Pierce, Aireontae Ersery, Jalen Royals, Darien Porter, Zy Alexander, David Walker, etc.
I feel confident that this is going to be yet another draft where I get at least one good player I want. Hoping beyond hope that that's the case.

I feel the same way about CB. We could get a good CB1 into the 3rd round. NT isn't far behind. I'd love for Nolen or Grant falling to us.

Nolen's another guy I've posted about. Dominant at times, and he was the top high-schooler in his class. Reminds me of Jeffery Simmons, but maybe with more potential than even Simmons had.
Grant is awesome, and I'd love the pick, but I doubt he falls to us.
Jordan Phillips is a NT I considered (and he'll be only twenty), but given that he's going high based on physical traits and not actual dominance (never really impressed me with any of his games; for comparison, he's been less productive than BB3 and Grizzly Gaines when they were drafted by us), it's very concerning.

these are my wants out of this draft. we must have a swing tackle that can take Havenstein place in a year or two. then i feel we need a ilb that is good in coverage because tight ends are so hard to cover. next we need a receiver that is a deep threat that would free up our other receivers. now if can fill 1 those needs in free agency then get a cover corner that is at least 6ft tall or better. then the rest of the draft is best player available.

A guy worth consideration later on Day 3. He'll bring it on special teams, is a good punt returner, will do the dirty work on offense, and has some versatility at WR (can play in the slot and outside).

I think he's still consistently listed way too high. The dude has a long way to go as a passer. He's a beast running the ball, but the small hands are not a good combination for NFL translation.
IMO value for him as a QB dev prospect is round 3+ due to high bust potential.
To me the slotting for those TEs is going to relate heavily to combine workouts. Fannin for example will rise big time with a good time. Warren who has been very in vogue due to his performance this season and been listed as high as top ten will slide to more reasonable range if he doesn't run well. Just the sheer amount of options means this group will sort heavily on the forty and three cone.
