The source loves watching Tanner Kozial play and views him as a goal line tight end option; at 6'8 or 6'9, he is an enormous H-Town product who is fast for his size and frame, similar to Darnell Washington. The Jaguars drafted him as a blocker and goal line weapon, and the team is expected to run 13 personnel more (the Rams ran 33% last season and scored a ton of touchdowns from it).

The source assigns Koziol an impact rating of 5, positioning him as a radically different skill set from tight end classmate Nate Boerkircher. Rather than functioning as an in-line blocker, the former Houston standout is a pure 'big slot' weapon who operated primarily as a jumbo wideout during his collegiate career. At 6-foot-7 with a massive catch radius, Koziol adds a unique element to the pass-catching corps that creates immediate schematic mismatches for opposing defenses. While his baseline blocking remains an ongoing project, his spatial awareness and high-pointing ability make him a natural target over the middle of the field. The source expects Liam Coen to draw up heavily tailored concepts for him early on, making him a factor in specialized red-zone packages throughout his rookie year.

JJ Zachariason notes that Tanner Koziol has shown glimpses of red zone upside in OTAs and Mandatory Minicamp, which presents a legitimate concern for fantasy owners considering Cole Strange as a tight end target; Koziol's emerging role could limit Strange's opportunity.

Koziel is a day-three tight end pick by the Jaguars who has no dynasty ADP and is one of the most productive tight ends in FBS over the past couple of seasons; he has two of the top seven tight end seasons by reception share since 2017, alongside Harold Fannin, Trey McBride (twice), Tyler Warren, Michael Mayer, and Sam Laporta; over the past two seasons he has the most receptions in FBS (five more than Jeremiah Smith); reception share is a highly predictive metric for college-to-pro tight end success; the source believes GM James Gladstone wants to follow NFL trends toward multiple tight end sets (which he cited as reason for drafting Koziel and Nate Berkertcher), while coach Liam Cohn is historically 11-personnel heavy; Koziel fits better into what the Jaguars want to do (spreading the field with multiple pass catchers) than Berkertcher (pure blocker with no college season over 200 receiving yards); if Koziel gets on the field for a handful of games as the second tight end in 12-personnel sets next to Brenton Strange, his elite target-earning profile could translate to NFL production; available at free cost and the source has him on all his taxi squads.
