#520: Dash To The Draft 2025 (Analysis of TE Class with Nick Kendell)

What this episode covers

1. A reason why some are down on this draft class overall is that only four-to-six players fit the mold of a consensus "blue chip" prospect. In your view, is Warren one of those four-to-six players and is he worthy of being selected in the top-seven despite the extremely low hit rate on first-round TE's?2. According to football data guru Warren Sharp, Colston Loveland only caught two of 10 contested targets, only forced three missed tackles (5% missed tackle rate, lowest in class), and ran just 13% of his routes against man coverage, which he'll see far more often in the NFL. Granted, he did have subpar QB play and was playing through injury last season. Of those aforementioned data points that Warren raised, which one worries you the most and why? 3. Assuming Mason Taylor makes the requisite improvements in his route running, do you think he eventually becomes that “Joker” weapon for an NFL offense? 4. Given what you do know about Elijah Arroyo's medical history, would it surprise you if he falls all the way to Day 3? 5. Does Terrance Ferguson scream "quintessential workout warrior to avoid at all costs" to you, or do you think there's a far better player at the NFL level waiting inside of him?6. Do you think Gunnar Helm is a far better athlete on tape compared to what his Combine numbers suggest, and should he fall to Day 3, do you think whichever team selects him will have a potential steal on their hands? 7.
