Is Raridon from Nd any good? Seems quite the athlete

Thought this was a possibility

Agree with all of this. But, at the same time I wanted Nakobe back. The D is just a bit better, physical, and aggressive, IMO, when he's playing.

Also, Baun won't be around more than another year or two.

yeah I know. I feel the same way

At a certain point you have to decide if you like the developmental kids from last year more

TE is where i would carpet bomb late. Maybe a developmental wr

Developmental TEs with some blocking ability or potential.

Im pretty out on Kitselman and Roush. I dont think theyll ever offer any value as a WR. I guess if you really want a guy who is literally only ever going to block you can select one of them and be happy. But thats not something that would make me happy.

He was one of the guys I intend to go watch after the combine. I didnt know of him but I figure ND would have our style of TE.

Our new assistant strength coach should have some good info for us on any ND prospects.

From that list I like Endries and Cuevas. My personal TE target is Justin Joly from NC State

But isnt Joly just a receiver type? I was under the impression you get no blocking from him.

Fun fact: I know his dad a little bit. Haven’t talked to him in years though. Former OL from Notre Dame.

that I do not know. I don't pay for PFF so I don't know any of the rankings

Raridon has 2 ACL tears in his right knee. So I wonder if thats the reason he isnt buzzed about more. I wonder if medical is pushing him down. Theres not much to go on but scouting reports that say he can block and youtube highlights that show him to be an athletic pass catcher with enough burst to RAC. Im quickly sold on him as one of the better TE prospects in this class. And Im thinking hes going to be a day 3 guy.

There is a little bit of blocking in this Raridon video and it sounds like Howie Roseman talking.

Raridon in RD4 would be a steal. He's consistently there in the PFSN simulator around that pick. Pair him with a solid TE1 in FA and let it ride.

I think he generally is only ever lined up basically as a big WR. So I dont know if he cant do it, but I think he does not. IF he has the mentality for the dirty work, itll be a work in progress learning.

To me hes like Stowers. Intriguing WR who is probably not on our board if you go by Howies recent press conference.

I live down here and him leaving was on the 6 o clock news just the other night

I know the internal hire thing hasn’t worked at all for the Eagles, but I like that they’re adding potential OCs if Mannion truly is some kind of wunderkind.

Good deal bringing him into the brain trust. May the 2026 offense be watchable and exciting once again.

With all of this offensive Brain power and an all WR 1 QB draft class this should be very fun.

I was able to win the super bowl just now

I felt like someone was missing at the combine. Just realized a few minutes ago during that mock draft I did- Tyren Montgomery. How did he not earn an invite after an awesome all star week? Thats really disappointing. Id love to have learned how athletic he really is. Its comical how he is able to coast through secondaries as if the defense literally does not exist. Its like everyone is afraid to be anywhere near him. I dont think anyone tried to cover him.

But he looked legit at the shrine game. So that answered some questions. Would have loved to see a workout.

Too many cooks in the kitchen?

Was just about to say it’s starting to feel a bit that way. Hiring three guys you interviewed for OC’s seems a bit much.

I have to imagine Loeffler is a goner for sure now. I’d like this move better if Parks Frazier wasn’t promoted to QB coach.
