Trey McBride, Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie.
Our thoughts on 2022 NFL rookie tight end Trey McBride.
Measurables:
6'3.5" 246 lbs.
33” verticle and a 9’9” broad jump at the combine
4.56 40-yard dash at his Pro Day
99th percentile college dominator
"If you like Heath Miller or Kyle Rudolph, McBride is your guy."
Strengths:
Trey McBride holds the record for most points in basketball and the home run record.
Great catch concentration in traffic with sticky hands and is hard to take down.
His routes are crisp with quick acceleration, and he can find the void in zone defenses.
Trey moves through contact with ease and can stay on his route.
In 2021 he led his team while averaging 5.6 catches a game over the last three seasons.
Not only did he lead his team, but he led all FBS TEs with 90 rec, 1,121 yards in 2021.
He stepped up as a leader and was a 2-time team captain.
Weaknesses:
He leans into his routes and tips his hand to the defense.
McBride plays at one speed and struggles against twitchy rushers.
He doesn’t look powerful enough to stay in line as a blocker.
He committed eight penalties as a senior, including several holding calls. Blocking below the waist call caused a touchdown to be called back against Toledo.
Trey McBride registered only one touchdown in 2021 and finished college with ten total touchdowns.
Drunk Thoughts
Fantasy team managers typically have to wait a few years for a tight end to break out; Tyler McBride is no different. McBride looks the part and figures to be a good NFL player. His athletic profile is comparable to Kyle Rudolph and Heath Miller, which feels accurate. A weekly stat line for him probably looks like four catches for 57 yards but leaves you hoping for a touchdown. McBride has an average draft position, just under number 24 overall. A late second or early third-round rookie pick feels right, but be prepared to hold him for three years before calling it quits.
