For me, there are 1st round TE prospects who need to be awesome if a team is going to spend a 1st round pick and 1st round money on them versus a TE in round 2 or later. TE is not a position picked a lot in the 1st round due to the projected high costs of other positions like QB, CB, OT, WR and Edge rusher. 

You think he has mouthwatering potential, but I don't to take someone with average production 2 years in a row in round 1. Maybe he is sitting there with pick 49 and we did not select Warren. I say no, he goes no later than pick 42 and likely in round 1 based on concenus rankings.

Loveland missed 4 games this year and his production would have been significantly better if not for that.  

Truthfully, if either guy falls into the 2nd, it will likely be Warren.  Blocking is not as valued when you're talking about spending a 1st on a TE.  Beyond that, Warren is 24, where Loveland is 20.  Teams don't like spending 1st's on 24 year olds.  I don't think either falls to us in the 2nd just due to a lack of offensive difference makers in this class.
