In what many consider a deep tight end class, Kincaid and Mayer are the only tight ends projected to be first-round picks by Cody Carpentier on his NFL Draft Big Board. Which tight end should you be drafting in your 2023 Rookie Drafts?
Kincaid is an athletic playmaker capable of making big plays with his ability after the catch. However, he will have limited snaps as a rookie due to his struggles in run blocking.
Mayer is arguably the most polished tight end in the class. He enters the league as a three-down tight end and should provide a safe receiving option for most QBs. However, his ceiling is lower due to his mediocre athleticism.
