But what if Brock Bowers is there? That's decision time... Uh Brock Bowers goes at the two-three with a James Cook team. I love doing that with uh with a running back... I love Brock Bowers, but I don't know if there should be that big of a spread. 203 for Bowers, 311 for McBride.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Premium TE at 2.03; great pairing with early RB, but McBride gap is wide.

Premium tight end going at 2.03 in draft strategy; represents a key decision point in the second round as a viable alternative to running back. Source loves pairing an early running back with Bowers and then loading up on receivers in the fourth–fifth round, noting that elite wide receiver depth is limited so pivoting to Bowers makes sense. Positioned as a contract-resetting player if he performs well. However, source questions the ADP spread between Bowers (203) and Trey McBride (311), suggesting the gap may be too large and that McBride offers better relative value at his later ADP.
