Roush and Delp on a Double dip for me: one or both will be solid NFL Pros.

Roush has short arms. He will disappoint.

People do not understand that not all short arm guys disappoint, but most do. The draft is about selecting guys with the highest chance of success. OL with short arms might be OK in a few situations, but is a bad approach in most situations.

"I love them. Give me nine of them. Get them all. Bring as many tight ends as we can get," Vrabel joked. "Just trying to find the right guy. Some of them are receiving, some of them are more at the line of scrimmage. We'll just try to come up with the one that fits us best and see where we can draft them."

Roush can join our other T-Rex.

• OSU coaches describe him as a “tireless worker” who changed the culture of the tight end room

Interesting what's your take on Max Klare?? Here's something interesting it seems like Joe Royer - Maxx Klare and Will Kacmarek were all in the same TE room at Ohio State. Joe Royer then took his talents to Cincinnati.

I really like Klare but he'd have to be taken at 63 and I have other priorities there.

Josh Norris and Hayden Hinks on Sam Roush.

There are enough questions about Roush's hands that questioning his upside as a TE 1 is valid - although that upside does exist. On the other hand, you're looking at a TE 2 as a minimum. I think that's where I am on him. ]b]Take him in the 3rd, hope for the upside, but if it doesn't materialise, be happy that you've locked down your TE 2 for 4 years.[/b]

That's what sold me on Roush. Floor is rock solid.

A TE who can go mano a manor with Rueben Bain? Please.

Some thoughts:

- A more athletic Will Kacmarek? Norris and Winks call Riush THE best run blocking TE in the draft, bar none.

- Drake Maye is the most accurate QB in the NFL, and throws a really watchable ball.

My 2027 goal is Roush + Jamari Johnson.

They clearly haven't watched Kacmarek yet.

I agree a true Y-TE is very valuable. I just have Roush ahead of Kacmarek. Much more athletic. But Kacmarek in 4th or later is a good backup option for me.
