McBride's 6-spot ADP premium ignores Cardinals' reduced passing rate and Harrison Jr. focus.

Trey McBrideTEARI

Trey McBride is being drafted 6 spots earlier than expert consensus (TE2 ECR vs. RK24 ADP), and the source cautions against expecting a repeat of 2025. McBride finished 2025 with 126 catches for 1,239 yards and 11 TDs on 169 targets, trailing only Puka Nacua in receptions and ranking 3rd in targets among all pass catchers and tied for 2nd in TD catches. However, there are reasons to think McBride might have a hard time matching those numbers in 2026. The Cardinals threw at the highest rate in the NFL last season, which is not likely to happen again after drafting RB Jeremiyah Love No. 3 overall. The Cardinals are also looking to get Marvin Harrison Jr. more involved after two disappointing seasons. The source notes McBride is clearly one of the elite tight ends and worthy of a top-25 draft pick, but cautions not to expect a full repeat of last year.
