## Resource

2026 NFL Draft tight end class shakes up league strategy as a record number of tight ends, including freak athletes Kenyon Sadiq (New York Jets) and Eli Stowers, go off the board early. Is the NFL entering a new era of offensive football? Joe Marino and Kyle Krabs break down why so many teams are prioritizing the tight end position, debate which rookie stands out as the most complete package—spotlighting Oscar Delp—and explore how teams are leveraging these picks to counter modern defensive schemes built around split safeties. Key topics include the best and toughest rookie landing spots (from Eli Raridon joining the New England Patriots to Max Klare's crowded situation with the Los Angeles Rams), the evolution of personnel groupings like 13 personnel, and late-round steals such as Justin Joly (Denver Broncos). Who will emerge as the top rookie contributor, and how will these draft trends reshape NFL offenses in 2026?
