Love this pick. I believe he was considered the top or one of the top TE at one point. Injuries probably tanked his stock. He broke his foot in 2022 and tore his acl in 2023 so last season he was just coming off that injury.

 

ND produces a lot of great TE and it looks like at worst he may just be a blocking TE but I think we could see a lot more out of him in a few years.

He stood out in the few ND games I watched, I didn't know about his injury history though. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

I still love the pick, its the classic upside late TE pick. 

ND knows how to make NFL ready TEs.

He can block which has become rare for college TEs.

Kind of funny how we have two Notre Dame TEs now lol. Tremble showed some moments last season as a pass catcher but we'll see what happens.

He is a good blocking TE. He has a great chance on making the roster after final cuts.

Drafting a guy with a previously torn ACL ...

Where have I seen this movie before. 

If you wanted a TE, Warren was the pick in round 1.

This was a waste of a pick.

Injuries are part of it.  When I was a freshman, one of the first thing I noticed int he locker room and training room was EVERYONE seemed to have a surgical scar or two.  I didn't.  By the following year, I had a scar from shoulder surgery.  It is not that you are injury prone, it is more about how recovery prone you are.

He can at least block which is more than Ian Thomas and he's cheaper and younger and can hopefully grow. I think he'll be groomed to compliment jt and replace tremble

Put him on the left beside Icky and start mashing people.
