He and Jalen Wydermeyer should be the top 2 TE's off the board, but this is a very deep TE class. My second favorite TE is Isaiah Likely of Coastal Carolina. He's built more like an oversized WR and he plays like a WR as well. Like McBride, he has excellent hands and can make big plays from the TE position. 

I also really like Charlie Kolar of Iowa State, Derrick Deese of San Jose State, Cole Turner of Nevada, Jelani Woods of Virginia and Lucas Krull of Pitt. It would be a crime to come out of this draft without grabbing a TE from this class.

That dude is gonna be a beast.

I didn't say he was small, he's 260 and a tank.  I said he's a little shorter than I usually like my TE but he makes up for the height in everywhere aspect.

6'4" really isn't that short for a TE though. Hockenson and Kelce are only 1 inch taller. McBride is like adding another receiver. His ability to find openings in the secondary and make big catches trump any kind of size difference, imo. Give me a great route running, athletic TE any day over a 6'7" hulking TE with slower feet.
