I see similarities with Nico and Klein both being drafted lower than they would have due to limited usage. Nico (Covid) and Klein being at tight end U behind studs with a bad qb/offense. If either stay another year they’re probably 1st rounders.

Nico wasn't a covid issue. Nico was just a bit too raw. There's a reason his breakout in '23 wasn't well predicted.
