Whether or not you believe Cole Kmet can grow into a true TE1, the Bears should keep a close eye on the tight end prospects at the seniorbowl. BryanPerezNFL on which TEs Bears fans should be watching when they get to Mobile. FrontOffice33 | DaBears
Believe it or not, Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is something of a lightning rod among Bears fans. There’s a contingent within the fan base who believe Kmet is nothing more than an average starter at a position Chicago should be looking to upgrade, while others cite the fact that hedeveloped in his first two seasons, and at just 22 years old, continues to have a very high ceiling moving forward.
Before we get too deep in the weeds here, and for the sake of my mentions on Twitter , let me make one thing clear: I’m not advocating for Kmet to be replaced as the Bears’ primary starter at tight end. I’m encouraged by his development; he has top-tier NFL traits; he’s proven he can handle the pro level even at a young age, and tight ends tend to take a few years to reach their true potential.
Obviously, that all but rules him out as a potential Bear, but if he slides to No. 39—Chicago’s first selection—it’s notout of the realm of logic that the Bears will at least consider the possibility. It remains highly unlikely, however, that Chicago will use their top draft pick on a position that isn’t their biggest need. So, if you’re a McBride fan, sorry… you’re out of luck.
Likely is a prospect who I value as a third-rounder at this point in the process, and with the Bears owning the 71st overall pick, he’d be a great value selection and an addition to a passing game that’s expected to look very different next season with a new head coach and offensive coordinator.. The 6-foot-6, 240-pound tight end has developed from a 193-pound high school wide receiver to the tall and long target he is today.
