Blinkscout 2024 TE

This is a pretty weak class. TE2 types, only a couple TE1s, like literally 2. We got Parkinson, so this position is off my board, I'll take a UDFA if needed. We have an open spot, so we'd be an attractive landing spot.

For those that aren't familiar with my process, I track players through their entire college career. I do not have access to anything beyond what announcers may say, and mostly I'm watching for specific skillsets that are valuable to me. These change over time, but not by a lot. My actual process of watching film has grown and I definitely get influenced by the other posters, because I trust their eyes. I call it "Blink" scout because my brother came up with the name after reading the book Blink, where people use rapid cognition to make assessments, which is kind of my thing. I don't give that many notes ... Deadpool has that covered. And I go way beyond draftable players. I generally italicize guys that may not be obvious that I think will be great values.
Also, a note I forgot. Practice squad players are more relevant and make more money than ever before, so filling that squad is not only important, it's really like a minor league team getting our coaching so we are going to draw good players.

I'll also note that DJ's top 150 came out today, and after the "mostly" consensus top 20-25, it's the wild west. Boards between pundits are all over the place. Deadpool and I are closer than any other two guys I've seen if that means anything (I feel validated by it, lol)

Also, I do not have Bowers top 10. To be in that range as a TE, you have to block. I've also hear stories about mentality, but the reason Hockensen is still my TE0 is because of blocking.

I have 29 players. Avg. is 14.3 drafted. There are some athletes and possibles listed late that didn't get a fair shot and might have real value.
