How many other late-draft TE2s belong to a cohort that historically has a better than 50% chance of finishing in the Top 12? Sadiq, as a first-rounder, fits that exact bill.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Rookie TE cohort has 15 top-20 finishers in past decade; Sadiq's ceiling far exceeds TE21 pricing.

Sadiq belongs to a cohort of first-round tight ends with better than 50% historical probability of finishing in the Top 12. Recent rookie tight ends have cracked top-20 status at a much higher rate than market consensus suggests: 15 different rookie TEs over the last decade finished top-20, with four accomplishing the feat in 2025 alone (Harold Fannin Jr., Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland, Oronde Gadsden). Sadiq's ceiling is not being priced into his TE21 ADP.
