If you're taking him at the 1-2 turn, you need him to absolutely smash clear-cut tight end one by a margin.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Bowers is a high-risk pick at the 1-2 turn due to injury and rookie QB concerns.

Leone argues that drafting Brock Bowers at the 1-2 turn is a high-risk proposition that requires him to be a clear-cut TE1 by a significant margin. Concerns include his history of PCL injuries, the transition to a rookie quarterback (Mendoza), and historical data showing pass-catchers struggle with rookie QBs compared to veterans.
