Multiple team sources across the league say they believe Colorado State tight end Trey McBride will be the first tight end taken in the 2022 NFL Draft, although the highest he would possibly go is Round 2. "McBride should be a third- or fourth-round pick. That is what he is as a player," said an area scout. "But in this class, he could go second round and be the first tight end drafted."
Many team sources thought Texas A&M tight end Jalen Wydermyer would be the first tight end drafted because he has a good skill set with size, quickness and athleticism. Wydermyer's stock has fallen, he is one of the players who team sources said had not interviewed well at the combine.
Teams do not see a lot of high-quality future starters, with only McBride receiving a solid future starter grade and projection from multiple teams.
