From the episode

Round six is a fairly early pick. It's how much do you believe in Drew Petsing? And how much do you believe in the fact that he is going to... lean on him to the same degree that he leaned on Che McBride.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Round six is appropriate value if Petzing features him like McBride; mid-top-10 TE.

Round six is an early pick for Laporta; the key question is whether new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing will feature him like he did Trey McBride in Arizona, or whether the presence of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams will limit his role. The source believes the market is drafting him appropriately as a middle-of-the-top-10 tight end (5–8 range), comparable to Kyle Pitts, Cole Kmet, and Tucker Kraft.
