Kuntz in the 3rd and Vorhees in the 4th. 2 players that could be studs in 2024

Agreed. Realistically because of Kuntz's athletic ability I doubt he'll fall to the fourth round. We would probably have to pull the trigger on him with the 88th selection. Vorhees should be there in RD4 after the ACL injury. He'll be a sit and wait project but that's fine for now. 

This is still a really deep TE class though. Tucker Kraft and Luke Schoonmaker are interesting prospects. Because of Washington, Mayer and Kincaid's production and skillsets against bigger competition I would expect them to go off the board first. The trick is trying to figure out when the run will start. 

If the top three TE's go on the opening night of the draft you'll see a run on them on day two. I just don't think we're going to prioritize this position until RD4 because they have Engram and Farrell and they can still sign another free agent that fits the blocking mold.
