Round 5, Pick 27 (#163) - Mitchell Evans, TE, Notre Dame

Love this pick. I believe he was considered the top or one of the top TE at one point. Injuries probably tanked his stock. He broke his foot in 2022 and tore his acl in 2023 so last season he was just coming off that injury.

 

ND produces a lot of great TE and it looks like at worst he may just be a blocking TE but I think we could see a lot more out of him in a few years.

He stood out in the few ND games I watched, I didn't know about his injury history though. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

foot in 2022

acl in 2023

I still love the pick, its the classic upside late TE pick. 

ND knows how to make NFL ready TEs.

He can block which has become rare for college TEs.

Injuries are part of it.  When I was a freshman, one of the first thing I noticed int he locker room and training room was EVERYONE seemed to have a surgical scar or two.  I didn't.  By the following year, I had a scar from shoulder surgery.  It is not that you are injury prone, it is more about how recovery prone you are.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
