Would you draft Brock Bowers if available?

Depends if a higher rated OT is there, but overall I would like that pick.

Agree.

I would probably look at OL/DL but if a lot of them are taken, I'm fine with Bowers.

I don't disagree that Bowers would be a great pick its just that if a high grade OT or Edge is there, I think they should fill one of those first IMO.

Starting OL/DL can be found in 2nd round, you most definitely take Bowers! He could be a top 5 TE

I’d definitely take him. A legit play maker at TE is one of the toughest things to defend.

If he is the best player available sure

That is where I am. This is an aging team and we have so many needs and unknowns that most positions seem like they may be lacking within two seasons. But maybe that is just a skewed perspective because of the struggles of the last two seasons.

The result of that thinking is best available seems like a wise choice to me, even though tight end doesn't seem like a primary need right this second. I could see prioritizing Oline/Dline ahead of TE if there were comparable players, though, but the best player available won't upset me.

If he's bpa and OL, DL are reaches. Fine.

A game changing te who can block and catch can do lots for a team. Look at sf, Detroit, and kc

Yes. Excellent blocker and receiver, surprisingly deep route tree. Think about Kittle in SF...I'd imagine Kubiak would integrate him like that.

Having TEs who aren't a tell (Johnson=mostly pass, Moreau=mostly run) would be a huge boon, and thats putting the insane receiving upside aside

I'd sprint to the podium. We've done pretty bad in the last decade taking line players in the first round, except for Ramcyzk and Bresee. Our scouting department has made bigtime hits on O-line deeper in the draft.

1 of Brock Bowers, Jared Verse, Dallas Turner, or an elite OL is good in my book. I’d also be ok with moving to #3 to get Jayden.

1. Move up for Jayden
2. Brock bowers/Jared Verse/ELITE OL
3. Dallas Turner or BPA
