Draft Note by John Paulsen
Warren was the second tight end off the board in April, landing with the Giants at No. 14 overall after a wildly productive senior season at Penn State (104-1,233-8). He’s a big-bodied, athletic target who profiles as an immediate contributor in the passing game. Historically, rookie tight ends struggle to produce fantasy-viable numbers, but Warren’s draft capital and college résumé suggest he could be an exception. The nine first-round tight ends since 2010 who played at least 14 games averaged 56 catches for 657 yards and 3.7 touchdowns as rookies. That’s 7.3 half-PPR points per game, or high-end TE2 production. Warren could hit or exceed that benchmark if the Giants make him a focal point early on. ESPN's Stephen Holder has reported that Warren saw the ball early and often in OTAs. The quarterback situation is a concern—Daniel Jones is the likely starter, and that could cap Warren’s ceiling—but the depth chart is thin, and Warren has a path to immediate volume. He's an intriguing 10th-round pick with breakout potential.
