2026 Draft: Tight Ends

Don't know what you're getting at but Nate Boerkircher should go UnDrafted. Delp is a Sure Third Rounder in my book: I hated the way they used him at Georgia.
I’m a huge Delp fan, but Devil’s Advocate, why didn’t he put up big numbers ? He’s so athletically gifted. Did they switch the offense after Bowers left ?
 
Once again, people always talk about things in the absolute. Like they think there’s no possibility to get better at certain skills. I’m not saying Koziol is a must, but he does have certain skills at this moment that would be a great player to land in the 4th or 5th round. He gives you a mismatch because of his size and skill.

Bottom line, the Pats need a talented, as well as hopefully explosive pass catching TE with Henry’s days being numbered. If they can get one that’s both explosive pass catching and passable blocking, I’d be happy grabbing him.

This is a deep drag as far as TE’s being pretty athletic and explosive. I believe there were 9 TE’s that ran a 4.70 or less at the combine. And then Delp ran a 4.49 at his pro day on a recovering broken foot. I just want ONE of these guys to groom into Henry’s eventual replacement.
It won't take much to relegate Henry to a back up role.

****ty QB play.
 
Delps' speed and fluidity with the ball in his hands is special. He's going to be a match up nightmare. No idea why they didn't feed him more. I'd take him at 63 with no hesitation. I would not be surprised if he went before that.

If we do miss on Delp, look at J Kanak. 3" shorter, 0.03 seconds slower in the 40, doesn't jump quite as well, but Kanak is a Day 3 guy, R5/R6. Very athletic, smooth, Delp-like.
