In 2024 Loveland played in 10 games, he had 56 receptions, 582 yards and 5 TD's or 5.6 catches for 58 yards and .5 TD's per game on average.
Warren played in 16 games he had 104 receptions, 1233 yards and 8 TD's., on average 6.5 receptions, 77 yards and .5 TD.s. Warren also had 26 rushes for 218 yards (7.8 per rush) and 4 TD's. Loveland had no tangible rushing yards nor rushing TD's
I get Warren is older, but based on production, it is not close, not only is Warren more versatile in passing and run game, but he is also the much better blocker.
I want the proven guy, not a player who may be a beast in round 1.
You have to be careful with production arguments, as Loveland had more receiving yards as a true freshman than Warren had his first three years at Penn State combined. Warren put forth an incredible year this past year, but he also was a non-factor for the majority of his college career.
I'm not saying it's wrong to have Warren higher. But there is certainly a fair case to be made for Loveland to be considered TE1 in this class.
