2022 NFL DRAFT: TREY MCBRIDE

By John Mesenbrink

Colorado State (SR), TE

Arguably the best Tight End in this year’s draft class, Trey McBride led the nation with 91/1,125 but only one TD in 2021. Known as a two-way tight end because of his size — 6’ 4” 260 lbs — McBride does need to work on his blocking at the point of attack. His 4.56 40-time at his Pro Day didn’t hurt his chances of being the first TE off the board later this month. Later first round, early second round, the Cincinnati Bengals would be a premier landing spot.

Pluses:
• Size
• Willing blocker
• Good footwork
• Big hands and solid pass catcher
• Smart route runner

Concerns:
• Does need improvement with blocking
• Lack of TD production
• Separation ability
• Catch radius
