Nate Boerkircher

Dynasty Outlook: Nate Boerkircher was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft. Yes, I'm as shocked as you. Boerkircher had decent athletic testing metrics with an 8.8 RAS score, a 4.78 40-yard dash time, and a 70th percentile 3 cone. His collegiate receiving profile is horrible, though. He finishes his collegiate career with only 0.99 yards per route run and no more than 198 receiving yards in any season (per PFF). I won't be chasing the draft capital with him. I'll be avoiding him in dynasty rookie drafts. With Brenton Strange a free agent after the 2026 season, he could be the starting tight end next year for Jacksonville, but Tanner Koziol, who was also drafted this year, could also beat him out for the starting gig in 2027.

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected TE Nate Boerkircher with the No. 56 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Boerkircher was limited as a receiver at Texas A&M. He could end up having a bigger role as a blocker, while Brenton Strange remains in his role as a receiver in the Jaguars tight end room.
