The Eagles drafted Eli Stowers in the second round of the NFL Draft wth the 54th overall pick. He is the heir apparent to Dallas Goedert, who is back with the team on a one-year deal. Stowers, with this landing spot and strong draft capital, has vaulted to my TE1 in rookie drafts. I’ll look to draft him at the back end of the first round in all formats.
Eli Raridon arrives in New England after getting drafted in the third round. He has a shot to be the immediate TE2 on the roster behind only Hunter Henry, with only Julian Hill and CJ Dippre as his main competition. Hunter Henry is a free agent after the 2026 season, so the runway is clear for Raridon to get substantial playing time in 2026 and walk into 2027 as the team’s unquestioned starter. I’ll be drafting him heavily in the second round of rookie dynasty drafts.
Max Klein was drafted in the second round of the NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. I’m not overwhelmed by any part of Klein’s game, but the draft capital married with the fact that Dalton Schultz is a free agent after the 2027 season makes him a decent fourth-round rookie draft dart.
