Re: Brock Bowers
I absolutely would not. Only one of the top 7 tight ends of all time by probowl seasons was a 1st round pick. Its statistically the most unpredictable position. On our current offense if we dont spend every pick on oline he would primarily be responsible for chipping the pass rusher every player until they chip him and he is injured. Most tight ends have short careers. Most current star nfl tight ends were not first round picks. Pitts is wasting away on the Falcons as they dream of a day when his contribution may match a top 10-15 receiver, best case scenario chris olave, while they passed on Chase, Waddle, Sewell, Parsons, etc to take him. I hope and pray Bowers is taken as early as possible by one of our division rivals. It will set them back years just as every 1st round pick TE since Tony Gonzalez 26 years ago has. And Tony Gonzalez has 0 rings.

Dominance in college predicts nothing at that position.
