Okay now why tf do we need FIVE TIGHT ENDS on the roster.

Good TE and should be worked in to the rotation. Good speed/quickness can run away from ILB and safeties.
I love his athleticism, definitely love his route tree. Don't love the hands nearly as much. He was around the area from late-second-to-early-third.
It's a headscratcher, especially after just drafting Ferguson last year, and I assume we're trading Parkinson or cutting Allen. I have to assume that because carrying five tight ends makes no sense.

Welcome to the horns you oversized chain moving bastid. 
Love the pick. In The McVay offense the lines are grayed between WR's and TE's.

The Tight Ends are to make up for not taking Wide Receiver. Nacua, Adams, Ferguson, and (Parkinson, Higbee, Klare) is the lineup. Let Sean cook, please......

Bon MCGinn talks with anonymous scouts
3. MAX KLARE, Ohio State (6-4 ½, 246, no 40, 3-4): Played three seasons at Purdue, backing up as a freshman in 2022 before starting 16 of 17 games in 2023-’24 and then going to Ohio State in ’25. “He probably should have stayed at Purdue,” one scout said. “When he was there he kind of lit it up. He got in there (at Ohio State) with a crowded group of tight ends. Most of them were better (blockers). Not that he’s not willing. He’s just not that powerful. He didn’t get the ball much early. He goes in the second or third. He won’t run that well. He’s got the skillset. He’s a good route runner. He can create separation. He’s got really good hands. He’s a really savvy player. I just don’t think he’s going to change a team.” Suffered a broken ankle in 2023 and missed seven games. In all, he caught 116 passes for 1,329 (11.5) and six TDs. “He runs the same route over and over,” a second scout said. “They run a little delay drag route. That’s pretty much where he gets all his production from. Not a natural hands catcher. He’s got easy drops. If you’re that kind of guy you better have great hands. He doesn’t. As a blocker, you’re not getting much from him at all. They had two other guys (Will Kacmarek, Bennett Christian) that did the blocking so he just goes and hangs out with the receivers. They don’t even put him in the mix to do it. He’s a supposed receiving-type tight end who doesn’t catch the ball well and doesn’t really make any big plays or get open well. I didn’t see much there.” Comes from a football family: his father, brother, grandfather and two uncles all played collegiately. “He’s got the genetics,” said a third scout. “He’s more of a work-in-progress guy. I comped him with (Luke) Schoonmaker, who played at Michigan. They used him as a motion and move guy and on whams and kickouts, and I think that’s going to be his forte at the next level, too. He’s not that great blocking but a lot of these guys aren’t. I liked the way he moved around.” Three-star recruit from Guilford, Ind. “He can get himself into the mix,” said a fourth scout. “I don’t think the year went as well for him as expected but I think he’s still going to get there.”

We're really cornering the market on mediocre tight ends
