While Warren is a great prospect and there's a lot of value with his blocking from different alignments and wildcat flexibility, I don't see him as a top receiving talent. I think Heath Miller would be a fair comp for him as a receiver, good, but not truly among the elite. Loveland runs a full route tree and has Kelce/Bowers type receiving potential. He's a true 1st round prospect in his own right. Hard to find TE's that smooth in their routes.
I like Grant a lot and think he has elite potential, but it doesn't look like the Bengals are interested in him or really any other DT in this class that isn't a potential elite pass rusher. I kinda get it, because they spent two high picks on that group last year.
It is just hard for me to think that the Bengals would take Grant when he's projected in their range and they didn't meet with him. Plus, they did not meet with many DT's at all, which kinda indicates that there's a couple of guys they really like and would take, but they aren't focused on that position. They have met with most all of the top edges and TE's and I have Loveland a lot higher than any of the edges on the board.
Good points on Loveland and Warren. I could see Loveland being the pick for sure with our so called interest in Kincaid years ago.
On Grant, haven't we made lots of picks that we haven't met with before? Maybe we are looking at FA for a DT and they have lots of
confidence in McKinnley Jackson going into his second year...
From your points, EDGE or TE are sounding likely early.
