| 0:00.0 | Last but not least, updated tight-end rankings on Fantasy Football Today Express. |
| 0:09.4 | We've gone through the positions, and we are to the glamour position. |
| 0:13.8 | Tight-end, how have things changed since Kenyon Sadiq was taken in the first round, |
| 0:18.2 | and a bunch of tight ends join crowded situations in rounds two, |
| 0:21.5 | three and beyond. I don't know if the draft shook things up too much here, but Jamie, any |
| 0:26.2 | major headlines for the tight end position? A couple. I'll start at the top where I'm a little |
| 0:34.5 | torn on Jay McBride versus Brock Bowers. |
| 0:38.3 | You know, Bowers was obviously amazing as a rookie and still very good, despite the |
| 0:44.6 | injuries and poor quarterback play and really poor offense in year two. |

| 1:12.1 | on an even playing field with McBride, if not better than McBride. |
| 1:15.5 | So that's one that I'm struggling with a little bit, and we just had our mock draft on Thursday's |
| 1:19.8 | episode where I took McBride early round three ahead of Bowers. |
| 1:23.1 | But as I said, I was going to see Jake Sealy was from the athletic was picking in front of me with the first pick. |
| 1:31.0 | I had the second pick. |
| 1:31.6 | I was curious to see what he was going to do. |
| 1:33.4 | He passed on both tight ends, so I took my pride. |
| 1:35.3 | But that's something I may change. |
| 1:37.0 | The other part of this is really who got competition and who did not get competition. |
