2023 TE Draft Prospects Group Assessment

[OSUfan]

After watching a ton of film and watching the players on the field together and doing individual drills the following are the TEs that I believe fit the Bengals well and where I would draft them:

Round 1:

Darnell Washington - he is the only round 1 TE that I would select. I could understand the selection at 28 but ideally would prefer to see a trade down scenario.

Round 2:

Tucker Kraft - I feel that he is an outstanding all around TE and I think he compares favorably to Dallas Goedert another SD State product. May be a bit high and if he is there in 3 it is a no brainer.

Luke Musgrave - His blocking concerns me a bit but he has the size and build for it so this could develop.

Michael Mayer - Extremely solid in all phases.

Round 3:

Tucker Kraft - See above

Luke Schoonmaker - The more film I watch on him the more I like him. I think he will contribute day 1 and I believe he will continue to develop and be a really good pro.

Josh Whyle - Needs to continue to develop his play strength but a good prospect for sure. Would be really good value in round 4.

Round 4:

Schoonmaker or Whyle would be a great value in this round.

Round 5-6:

Cameron Latu - Wish he would have ran the drills with the other TEs. Decent film just needs to continue to develop.
