Draft Note by John Paulsen
Strange is a later-round dart throw with a stronger underlying case than his overall finish suggests. He dealt with injuries that wiped out a large part of his 2025 season. He appeared in just 11 games and was largely absent from Week 6 through Week 11, but from Week 12 on, he averaged 8.4 points per game, good for the TE8 in that span. The PFF metrics confirm the talent is real: 77th-percentile route grade, 71st-percentile YPRR, and an 92nd-percentile avoided tackle rate that shows genuine ability to create after the catch. His ESPN OPEN score (68th percentile) is solid, and the YAC per reception (67th percentile) is above average as well.
