I hear ya. But tbf, Bowers had to play mostly with the immortal Stetson Bennett.
Yeah I don't want any TE in rd 1. BUT if they do waste the 10th pick on one, Loveland actually gets open and is a good run blocker. Two things that Warren isn't great at.
I’m more concerned that some peoples links aren’t working on here
I think we finally found a job for @ILoveDick when he gets out of prison!
Interview scores now?
They’re gonna be collecting poop samples before we know it.
If they make a huge mistake and use a third round pick on a guy with no speed, you could see them getting a guy with speed later? Yeah then you’d have to try to mold those two people into one human being to make them worthwhile.
I like Loveland as a player. Hell, I think Warren is a good player.
Btw, the line of McMillian cut in half already last I checked. I put Mykel as a top 10 pick and that cut in half too. I can’t wait to see none hit on Thursday, haha.
I think he’ll be better than Kmet and probably quicker. But I don’t think his ceiling is as high as some believe; he’s probably a safe pick but he won’t move the needle as much as some believe. If BJ wants him or Loveland for his offense, then take him (hopefully in a trade down). But I’ll be glad to not hear his name again after Thursday night if they don’t take him.
Is 4.2ypc really a “force” though? Gibbs has the same situational & personnel run splits as him and averages about 30% more in ypc.
This is what my life has been missing.

I’m one of the few that wish they had taken Bowers over Rome. And I’m a fan of Rome, and think he will be a really good WR. But Bowers is one of those blue-chip players you can build an offense around. Players like that are few and far between.
I think both will probably be better than Kmet. But imo neither will be some elite top-tier TE for years to come. If, say they had taken someone other than Rome last year and Bowers was in this draft? Thats a no-brainer pick all day long.
Agreed. To me it feels like this TE class is similar to the 2023 TE class with Sam LaPorta (who was an early 2nd rounder btw) draft class. Dalton Kincaid was the highest taken at 25 overall.. A bunch of good ones but not a diamond like Bowers was.
Jus adding that Warren was a high school QB. First converted to fullback and then later to tight end. Not surprised he didn't beat out NFL caliber players in a bad offense his first couple years. Prospects all have different journeys. Loveland's production the last two years combined doesn't equal what Warren did last year, and with a first round QB most of his time there. Doesn't mean he won't be a great pro. Neither are Bowers, but both have pro bowl potential and this is a way weaker first round than last year.
