I have yet to hear anyone talk about Bowers as a prospect it's mostly don't draft him because of Kyle Pitts, don't draft him because of Michael Mayer, don't draft him because Uzomah and Hurst weren't dominant weapons...
No one is talking about what makes Bowers a top 10 prospect and if you are ignoring that you're viewing the draft wrong.
Every year there are people who hype "can't miss" "generational talent" draft guys. Mayer was last years "cant miss" "he wont be there" guys. When all was said and done, Mayer was pretty mediocre in his first NFL season. He was certainly not the game changer some of our fans made him out to be. This year the new TE hype guy is Brock Bowers.
Nobody is saying Bowers couldnt end up being good. What has been said is you cant claim every year that if we just draft this one TE he is going to completely change the offense. Nobody knows how these guys are going to do at the NFL level. The example is Mayer and all they hype you guys gave him last year. If Bowers is not picked this year, I am sure some of our fans would find a new "generational" TE talent in next years draft because some of you believe if we just added a great TE our offense would be unstoppable. There are too many unknowns with any of these guys to make such claims.
