We'll get a great prospect no matter who we choose at #5 .... maybe that will be Bowers.

Brock Bowers. Lol.

For his sake, especially if we draft him, I hope he is one of those who doesn't look the part but is. Kurt Warner used to make fun of how bad Marshall Faulk looked with his shirt off. It didn't matter, though.

the other thing bowers has is that cat like reflex and spatial awareness plus balance to contort and adjust to ball in the air and the soft yet strong hands to snag the ball out of the air and secure it before a defender can make a play on it, you can't watch Bowers video and not notice that playmaking ability that is difficult to quantify..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

Tom Brady never lined up opposite J.J. Watt or had to block a linebacker, so that is completely irrelevant. Not as irrelevant as a chimpanzee ripping off a human being's arms, but it's irrelevant.
As I said I will wait until the Combine reports to see if Brock Bowers' size is actually a concern.

They have Bowers as 6'35", 240. 6'3"-6'3.5,....works for me.
1 Bowers 6'35",240
2 6'36", 252
3 Stover, 6'36", 251
5 Sinnott 6'4", 254
6 Holker , 6'31", 241
These guys are their top 5 ranked TEs, in that order.

I watched Georgia play nearly every week. Many on this forum have said he's a great blocker. He's not. I didn't focus in on him blocking every single play he was tasked to do so, but the handful of times I did he was not great. He doesn't suck at it, but it's something that he could work on at the next level.
He sure was a playmaker, but there were a lot of those at Georgia. The Bulldogs had one of the top coaching staffs in the country and a great offensive scheme the entire time Bowers was there. Although Darnell Washington didn't make as many plays as Bowers, he made a handful that you wouldn't expect from a player who looked like he was a few big meals away from lining up at offensive tackle. (Note: I am not saying Washington was as good of a prospect as Bowers.) I wouldn't be surprised to see Oscar Delp have a great season at tight end for the Bulldogs next fall. So, I wonder if Bowers is overhyped in that regard, too.
