I was mistaken, it was another poster. He had listed 4 other TEs saying they would out produce Bowers

What do they mean with regards to Bowers’ and his talent?

It should make ya think twice when Bowers name routinely pops up with elite WRs. It’s not often the tape, stats/data, athletic testing all jive. It’s very hard to ignore for me

As an 18-year-old true freshman, TE Brock Bowers averaged a team-high 58.8 YPG. That was ____ more than that of his following teammates:

1.7X that of WR Jermaine Burton (proj. R3)
2.0X that of WR Ladd McConkey (proj. R2)
2.1X that of WR Adonai Mitchell (proj. R1)

Look, I get why people think Bowers is special, even if he is a bit undersized. I just think history tells us TE is more of a risk in the first round, and TE is less of a need for the Saints. First round OTs succeed more reliably and the position is a desperate need. Conveniently, most draft experts think there are at least four 1st round caliber OT talents in this year's draft. Heck, if we draft Bowers he'll have to stay in to block all season because our O -line will be shite. He feels like a luxury pick.
