They each build a real Underdog best ball team around one strategy — and then grade each other's rosters.First up are the four tight ends coming off the board early: Brock Bowers in the second round, Trey McBride in the third, Colston Loveland in the fourth and Tyler Warren in the sixth. Are they actually worth the price? Then we get into the middle of the board with Tucker Kraft, Sam LaPorta, Harold Fannin, Kyle Pitts and George Kittle, followed by the round-11 pileup of Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, Dalton Kincaid, Isaiah Likely and Jake Ferguson. And if you want to punt completely, we go through Dallas Goedert, Chig Okonkwo, Oronde Gadsden, Brenton Strange, Hunter Henry and Juwan Johnson.Then we stop talking and actually draft. Kendall and Pete each take a side, build a full Underdog roster, and come back for a post-draft debrief to figure out which approach really left them better off. If you've been staring at your draft board trying to decide when to pull the trigger at tight end, this is the episode that answers it.
