Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. This week's show is title twenty twenty six
Rookie tight Ends ten Must Know Stats.
Speaker 2: I am running out.
Speaker 1: This preview series of rookies by position. The Combine is
now in the reroom year a lot to learn, a
lot to dissect, and I will be doing so both
free and paid content next week with a Risers and
Followers episode, respectively from Indianapolis and the Combine. But this
week I'm still talking about my ten must Know stats,
rounding it out with rookie tight Ends. We all learn now,
especially from the Combine itself, that tight ends are deep
in terms of this class and the talent available in
the player pool, a few of which still out now
as possible top tier prospects. There's plenty of Day one,
Day two, and Day three town available at tight end
that we should be excited about from a fantasy perspective.
This class was deemed twenty twenty six week at all
positions a few months ago. I think we can all
agree that it is week at quarterback. Running Backs have
tested so well at the Combine that the class looks
better on paper now than I did before wide receiver
was the bread and butter, the most value to provide,
and now tight ends are proving that there is plenty
of upside and intrigue that we should be paying attention to.
Let's get right to it. Ten must know stats up first.
I have Max Claire compiled one hundred and sixteen receptions
in thirty three games played with both Purdue in Ohio state,
eleven and a half yards per catch and six total
receiving touchdowns. Claire did not have the best analytical combine
checked in at six four two forty six. I believe though,
he is someone that I am more focused on the
production and the film than his traits or metrics from
onfield testing. He was a stubborn Purdue in round audis
college career well with the House States, and I believe
it fits today's mold of NFL really well. Think Mark
Andrews for a comparison of skill set. The one hundred
and sixteen receptions show that the counting stats are there,
especially with two different collegiate programs. If Claire's NFL stock
declines or decreases post combine, and he comes a value
on draft day for an NFL team we need to
take notice as well in the Donacie sets of things,
because I do believe that the talent is there for
gonna be a start at.
Speaker 2: The pro level upnex.
Speaker 1: First stat is that Eli Stowers, who's stole the show
for the Combine, posted a career receiving log of one
forty six seventeen seventy three eleven receiving scores in forty
five games played with Texas A and M Mexico States
and Vanderbilt. The fuzzism is unbelievable, and if you don't
already know, star Wars was a tight end quarterback with
Texas A and M, a quarterback with New Mexico State,
and then a return to tight end with Vanderbilt.
Speaker 2: Checked in at six.
Speaker 1: Four two thirty nine, so somewhat of an in between
tight end wide receiver prospect perraps a big Slot Brett
in the NFL, not to mention the versatility he provided
at the college level, adding thirty six rushes for one
hundred and seventeen yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
Eli Stowers has been view for the most part a
Day two prospect, but after the Combine he is pushing
for Day one draft Capital smooth route runner, reliable hands.
The question is where's he fit. Where is his mold
or body type going to place into an offense. Is
it as a more traditional tight end because the height
is there, it's more of the weight that's the question
work or is he going to be like an Isaiah
likely in a sense pushing the ball downfield and being
a mismatch out of the slot. Time will tell, but
Eli Stowers has a production and now athleticism to back
up being a first round pick. If not, should be
inside the top seventy five after that combine showing. Michael
Trigg scored fourteen receiving touchdowns and thirty eight games played
with usc Ole miss and Baylor. Trigg, in my opinion,
is one of the best playmaking tight ends in this
year's class. With those fourteen receiving touchdowns. Also added one
hundred and eight catches for one thousand, four hundred nineteen
after receiving and thirteen point one yards per catch. We're
talking in a big play threat waiting to happen six
four two forty so quite honestly, size is not all
that different from Eli Stowers, but Trigg does seem to
play more physical and larger on film, just the way
he utilizes his body as a tight end did it
with the usc Ole miss and Baylor. Trigg is someone
that is not receiving the buzzer steam as someone like
at Kenny Sadik or obviously Elis Stowers here, but don't
be surprised if Trigg is drafted among the top five
ten ends in this year's crop. Jack Juries registered one
hundred and twenty four receptions in thirty nine games play
with California and Texas. He's one of my favorite film
tight ends in this year's class. By that, I mean
I'm watching it and I am impressed each and every time.
From receiving and blocking perspective sixty five two forty five
way in to the combine. To go with those one
hundred and twenty four receptions at the college level, he
also compiled one thousand, three and seventy six yards receiving,
seven receiving touchdowns, and eleven point one yards per ketch.
If you watch tape of Injuries, you'll see what I
mean where he is fluid both pre and post catch.
He does not have the buzz or recognition of a
Day one talent, but surely in that Day two mix
and is argument of the best kept secrets in that
draft range. A value a screaming value at bat in
dynasty leagues with his current ADP lbit early data. Up
next is Justin Jolie collected one hundred and sixty six
receptions for one thousand nine erred and seventy years, receiving
fifteen touchdowns in forty nine games played with both Yukon
and North Carolina State, averaging a crisp eleven point nine
yards per ketch six three two forty one. So he
is in that in between range. Is he a wide receiver?
Is he a tight end? When I watch tape of
Justin Jolie, I see John wu Smith vibes John new
Smith traits where it is a lot of intermediate or
underneath patterns or routes, but the after catch instincts and
ability of manufacturing yardage is so much miniscent of John
Huo that there could be a nice scheme fit for
Jolie on the Day two draft radar that makes him
transferable from the college to pro level. Despite the six
three two forty one body frame, I'm not concerned about
the weight as much as I am the height.
Speaker 2: Even in inch from other prospects.
Speaker 1: Sixty four to sixty three could make a difference with
how physical and large linebackers corner safeties are in today's game.
But I'm not going to write him off the college
production speech for itself, let alone what he does with
the tape. So justin Jolie is someone keep an eye
on as well? Time for quick break. I'll be back
with five more must know stats out of twenty twenty
six rookie tight end prospects before I get to that.

Cozial delivered two hundred and thirty seven, yes, two hundred
and thirty seven receptions in forty nine games play but
Ball State in Houston with two thousand, two and thirty
four years receiving a twenty four receiving touchdowns. This is
a tight end prospect who's putting up first round caliber
wide receiver stats at the college level grandy level competition
with Ball State to Houston. That's somewhat of a debate
when you assess Tanner Cozy overall profile six six two
forty seven, so a large tight end prospect here. The
combine wasn't all that favorable to him in terms of
testing traits. But I will say when you watch the film,
it's easy to see why he compiled so much in
the form of County stats.
Speaker 2: He is in a Day three radar for.
Speaker 1: Draft Capital, but if you're a member of Patrion, you
know I've talked him up this past week on my
preview series of tight ends. One of my favorite sleepers
and someone I'll be watching closely in the rest of
the pre draft process. Day Kwon Wright posted a career
receiving log of one thirteen, sixteen oh three and nine
for fourteen point two yards per catch and forty seven
games play with Virginia Tech and ole Miss. He checked
in at sixty four to two forty six. If you
watched postseason college football this season, then you're aware that
Right was a big reason why Ole Miss made some
noise in a stretch with Trinidad Chambliss at quarterback, writes
one of his favorite targets, as evident from his collegiate
production even recently with ole Miss. Right is a big
play at tight end and moves much quicker than a
sixty four to two forty six pound frame. Might indicate
hasn't received a ton of Day two buzz, but would
not shock me after the combine if he ends up
in that value range. Next up is one of my
favorite sleepers outside of Tanner Coozial at tight end this
year it is JMG or John Michael Gillenborg average twelve
point yards per catch on only eight receptions in forty
three games play with Mioming added on thy twenty three ars,
receiving at seven scores six six two forty nine. JMG
is so fun to watch on tape after the catch.
He is not easy to bring down. Physical athletic. He
is someone that I think could jump from perceived Day
three draft capital day two and fits today's game of
being a move tight end with the size to line
up in line, out wide or in the slot. JMG
or John Michael Gillenborg is someone that I do plan
on investing heavily in tight ended premium formats, even if
the draft capital isn't great.
Speaker 2: We're talking day three, fine, so be it.
Speaker 1: I am trusting the process and trusting the talent evaluation
that I am watching and going through in this pre
draft process and seeing that he is someone who's not
receiving enough attention, which could be because of the small school.
Speaker 2: Prospect out of Wyoming.
Speaker 1: Lake McCree contributed ninety seven receptions in fifty one games
played with the USC one thousand, one hundred to four
yards receiving seven receiving scores, and eleven point nine hours
per catch. He checked in at sixt four to two
forty three at the combine. Mccree's generated some buzz, not
a lot of scouts or talent evaluators that are over
excited about his outlook. But I think he's well rounded.
He does what's expected out of a tight end master
of none, but gets a job done in a sense,
and sure day three trajectory here for NFL draft capital.
Yet any tight end that flirts with one hundred total
receptions at school is going to catch my attention. And
McCree was a staple, and he was his offense his
entire college career and last, but not least, RJ. Maryland
stuffed his college resume stat sheet with an impressive one
to thirteen fourteen ninety five nineteen receiving efforts in forty
six games played with SMU thirteen point two yards per catch,
So he was efficient and made big plays happen routinely
six four two thirty six. So another one of these
tight ends that is a bit undersized in a sense
is a smaller titand prospect like Eli Stowers, but Stours
is a standout prospect here where RJ. Marilyn is the
sleeper could provide nice value if drafted, and we'll keep
an eye on that status from a nine ser perspective.
But I wanted to bring up that his stats are
really well noted and he tested better than expected the combine.
So RJ Mariland went from off the radar to most
people to suddenly someone who could warrant higher draft capital
than anticipated.
Speaker 2: That will do it up.
