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

You’re already on record saying these other TEs will outperform Bowers, yes?
What are you talking about? What other TEs?

I think bowers is safer than any OT outside of Alt
Great. That's what you think. If the Saints also think that, they should probably draft him. Historically, though, it's a bigger risk (see Pitts, Fant, Ebron, Hockensen, OJ Howard). That's the last 4 TE taken before pick 20, their teams thought they were safer picks too. Not all horrible, but no stars there, and none of them elevated their team.

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

Umm, Hockenson was the number one te in the league before he got hurt this year. May want to leave him out your argument.
I still think Pitts is being underutilized big time, along with horrible qb play. And he has a 1k yard season at least. OJ Howard should have never been a 1st round pick. He didn’t have the game tape, just the measurables.

I agree that historically it's a bigger risk to take a tight end over a tackle.
Problem is Bowers isn't just any tight end. He is doing things that have never been done. He hasn't just done them for 1 year either. Bowers has been elite for 3 years straight.
