No Hunter, No Carter, No Problem take Tyler Warren

[One-If-By-Sea]

I actually agree that Lowe should be our backup LT. wejust must draft a solid starter who will be ready to start the season, or over even play behind Lowe for a couple of games.

My open question is whether we will draft another OT and a C in the first 4 rounds.

I think they will draft Trapilo. He is flexible at LT and RT. Ideal swing guy and possible starter, even if he is never excellent.

Lowe is the last possible option to me. He was bad. I like Moses at LT and Wallace/Trapilo at RT, before Lowe at LT and Moses at RT.

The rest of the league will save Trapilo for us.

I wouldn't be shocked if they come away with 3 o-linemen in this draft.

Nope. I like Warren as a prospect, but realistically how many TEs in the history of the league have been worth the 4th overall pick even after the fact. And that is when you knew FOR A FACT they would be that good. Keep in mind TE by its nature is not typically as impactful of a position as a top WR unless you are an absolute game breaker.

Here's my list.

Kelce
Gronk
Gonzo
Sharpe
Casper (for his time for sure)
Winslow (particularly if he stayed healthy)


Then maybe..

Witten (his best years came after his rookie contract was up)
Gates (for all the love he gets, he only got over 1K yards twice in a pretty pass friendly era... is that worth the 4th pick? I would argue maybe not)
Newsome (Was fairly dominant in his era... but enough for the 4th pick? IDK.)

REALLY stop and think about how many TEs you'd trade the 4th overall pick for. How many in history have there been? And then remember those are players that you 100% know their worth. How sure are you Warren will be as good as the least of them? What are the odds he will be worth that pick?

Personally I wouldn't pick a TE in the top 10 unless it was a generational prospect at the position... and even then not in the top 5... You're more likely to recoup your value in the top 5 pick by picking a WR as far as an offensive weapon goes

As for Warren, I like him... Even if the Pats trade down... I don't want to pick him in the top 10. Top 15... now we're talking. And if worse comes to worse and the Pats can't trade down for any worth while value, i'd take McMillian. He isn't a perfect prospect, but he has good meassurables, good tape and seems the most likely of anyone else IMO to have enough value to recoup our pick value. And he fills a need.

I mean I would say Brock Bowers wouldve been worth #4 last year. It also depends on the quality of the draft. not all drafts are made equally.

Nope. Also, you are assuming he will do 1K yards year after year. That is super rare and we have no reason to think so. WRs are more reliable at repeating those efforts.

My redraft would probably be..

1-3 Nix Maye Daniels - QBs
4 Nabers - WR
5 Brian Thomas - WR
6 Mitchell - CB
7 Verse - LB

Maybe Brock Bowers is 8th. I just don't see him repeating his performance. Really he isn't a true TE. Mike Evans is actually just about the same size and I think the NFL is going to catch on to him quick come year 2 and we will see his stats go down. Doesn't mean he isn't good. But nah.. Not top 4. If he turns out to be a Gronk or Kelce like player maybe. Also, a not insubstantial amount TDs and yards came in garbage time. Not automatically his fault as his team was behind a lot in the 4th quarter all season, but it is worth mentioning.

I’m fully aboard the Warren train, but it’s a lonely train. Lotta empty seats on this one.
