re: Daniel Jeremiah's 2024 NFL mock draft 1.0

you can find production in later rounds and not use high draft capital and salary on a rookie just because he’s the “best prospect evah” at his position.

My point is that you are more likely to not find production in later rounds than you are to find a good player. Most later round TEs will never amount to anything beyond a replacement-level player.

I understand that TE is not “high value” relative to OT, pass rushers, etc., but that doesn’t mean you are likely to find high end production with a later draft pick.

Basically, if you are looking for the next Kelce or Kittle, you’re not likely to get them with a 3rd round pick. It’s a lot more likely that you get a Logan Thomas.
