It's guaranteed in Upper's opinion.  It's not the consensus of raters.  I checked the first seven rankings of draft prospects that I could find and all have him within the top 65 players which is our pick at the top of the third round.  

Sporting News - 37
The Draft Network - 43
NFL.Com - 46
Drafttek - 54
Tankathon - 56
CBSSports - 62
ProFootball Network - 63

Oh, of course:

Upper - At least 95

The consensus (except Upper) is a second round pick.  One has him as an early second round pick, but the others have him as a mid to late second round pick.

To me, Friermuth isn’t that much better than the rest of the TEs. There’s Pitts in a galaxy all by himself and then a bunch of decent prospects.

I would hate to waste valuable draft capital (1st and 2nd rounders) on a TE who most likely isn’t better than other TEs you can get in round 3-5.

In the first and 2nd round, there will be tackles, safeties, WRs who all will most likely be higher rated and be able to help Trevor right away.
