re: If Brock Bowers or Rome Odunze are still on the board at 14, do you take one of them?

WR is not a need.

TE is a need either.

Both are needs. You don’t have a WR over 200 lbs. We have backup calibre TEs running as our starters

Bowers would solve both issues. Ran half his routes from the slot at UGA, another 11% split wide.

Bowers may be talented but I wouldn’t think hes this huge impact type of guy. Take a look at all the first round TEs drafted in the last 20 years. The only guys that you would label as impact players would be Dallas Clark, Greg Olson, Vernon Davis and Todd Heap out of 25 TEs selected. The chances Bowers becomes a franchise type TE is pretty slim.

In the ENTIRE PFF College Era, Brock Bowers ranks:

1st in career PFF receiving grade (94.3)
1st in career receiving yards
1st in receiving YAC
1st in forced missed tackles
T-1st in receiving TD's

Reality is most of Bowers receiving metrics surpasses the stud WRs of the past few classes. He is that dude
