The Eagles are rumored to be shopping Dallas Goedert, and whether or not he is on the roster for 2025 will not affect their need to draft a tight end in the 2025 NFL Draft.

A lot of fans will call for Tyler Warren, but he will likely be long gone by the time the Eagles make their first selection, that does not mean there are not many intriguing options for Philadelphia at different parts of the draft.

Listed below are all three tiers of the draft and the prospects that will likely be available in each range. They will have options and the draft capital to move up if they desire or patiently wait for their target. Adding a tight end will be one of the more intriguing positions to watch when the Eagles draft next month.

First round Picks

Tyler Warren, Penn St, and the Best TE in class. He is a lethal weapon with the ball and has a high football IQ. A High School QB who I saw play many times at Atlee HS in Virginia, he is a pariah in the red zone who uses his body and height to bully defenders. Tyler has great hands, dominates over the middle, and the seam, and stacks defenders vertically. TE1.

Colston Loveland, Michigan, has the best hands in class, looks & plays like a receiver. Loveland is fluid, twitchy for size, & criminally abuses LBs with his route-running prowess. He fights for yards and uses his basketball background to block defenders and win contested catches. If you want a tight end to be a high-volume receiver, Colston is the TE for you.

Day Two Options

Mason Taylor, LSU, makes tough receptions, moves the chains, and easily gets open. Tayor moves around the line to create mismatches and, in the right scheme, will flourish. Mason displayed a more advanced route tree at the Senior Bowl than at LSU. He has good hands, a 1.8% drop rate, adds YAC, and wins contested catches. He is one of my two favorite targets for the Eagles at the position.

Gunnar Helm, Texas, has the frame, hands, and body control to be an effective weapon in the NFL. Gunnar has proven to be an above-average route runner, breaks tackles, YAC, and loves learning. Helm is a film rat. He can thrive in 12 Personnel and is the best run blocker in class. He always finds the soft spot in coverage and uses his body well to shield. Gunnar excels in space and can play in week one. Helm is the other TE I regularly mock Philly drafting.

Elijah Arroyo, Miami, is a fantastic route runner. He uses his spidey senses and elite awareness on the field to create space and find the soft coverage. Arroyo is another tight end who creates YAC by attacking defenders for extra yards. Elijah has a wide catch radius that he utilizes to haul in difficult passes on the field and as a weapon in the red zone. Arroyo also stretches the field with his speed and is a willing blocker who does not mind mixing it up.

Harold Fannin Jr, Bowling Green, has obvious ties to the Eagles via their new QB coach and former Bowling Green Head Coach, Scot Loeffler. Per PFF: Harold had the highest overall grade at 95.7 and was first in their pass route grading with 96.1 among all receivers nationally. Fanning is dangerous with the ball in his hands and was first in broken tackles.

His sticky hands and ability to play all along the line make him a valuable chess piece in an offense willing to utilize his skill set. Harold is also a willing blocker who excels at pushing defenders back by utilizing solid pad level to frame up defenders and get them off their blocks by churning his strong legs to misdirect.

Day Three

Jake Briningstool, Clemson, is a vertical threat who abuses LBs and Safeties over the top. Jake is a fighter for the ball and wins contested catches versus defenders with his strong hands and high-pointing the football. He displays an above-average burst and runs crips routes making him hard to defend. Briningstool is a good run blocker and he will only improve once he gets into a system in the NFL and starts refining all of his traits.

Oronde Gadsden II, Syracuse, did not run at the combine but reportedly ran a 4.55 forty at his pro day (not official), which would have been the fastest time of any tight end. Either way, Gadsden is fast! Oronde has an elite burst, an advanced route tree, amazing body control, and speed! He dominates from the slot and shows off WR ability on the outside.

Gadsden has good hands, creates space, is explosive after the catch, and regularly wins 50/50 balls. I went to watch him twice and left impressed both times. Oronde has elite ball skills and will be a weapon in week one. He is an intriguing option for the Eagles if they still need a tight end later in the draft.

Terrance Ferguson, Oregon, is a grinder, and his production improved year over year. He has good hands, is versatile, and can play outside or in the slot. Terrance is a dynamic red zone threat and a QB best friend. Ferguson is a reliable, easy target that will be looked to on the field when plays break down and to move the chains. Once he has the ball in his hands, he follows blocks well, creates YAC, and comes up big, in big moments. he is also a threat in the screen game.

Luke Lachey, Iowa, has great size with mobility rare from that stature. He is a relentless worker and boasts NFL BLoodlines. Luke has a wide catch radius, great body control, good hands, a low drop rate, and runs consistently sharp routes. He is a reliable target who gets and stays open for his QB. Lachey is a savvy player who can contribute from day one in a pro-style offense.
