I'd consider it only because of how much MLF utilizes multiple TE sets. A rotation of Bowers, Kraft and Musgrave is punishing for opposing LB's and I'm sure we'd even get some cool 3 TE plays but instead of Deguara, you insert a V8 supercharged version with a well-rounded game. Could be cool.

Yes. Hell, if he gets close to #20 and all it takes is a 4th (or even the 3rd) I'm happily moving up.

Yes you absolutely take Bowers. That said if he falls to 25 it's probably for a reason that would also lead to us avoiding him(ex. Injury or off field stuff)
Coach Drew: "Milwaukee has always been a team that I have been intrigued by. When we played them, they were a tough team for us to play. Although we did beat them all four times"

Bowers would have insane seasons in this offense. Supercharged Kittle.

I'd take Bowers at 25 for sure, running 2 TE sets virtually every play is how I'd like to see the offense operate anyways.

Any bold predictions for the draft or should we save them for another week or two?

Mine is no linebackers or running backs on day 1 or 2. I think they focus on the secondary and offensive + defensive line instead.

Some of these guys shed a few pounds before they have to run these drills, so he'll probably add a couple pounds, but even at 313 that would only put him behind Walker as the 2nd heaviest on the line, weighing more than Elgton, Tom and Myers. His RAS is still 9.85 at OT and a 10.00 at OC. Dude could be a stud on the line.

Listen Bowers is a damn good TE prospect and yes if he slides id take him without thinkin twice.

But holy ****. Calling him a "Supercharged Kittle" is the equivalent of saying best TE ever

Better version of Kittle is exactly what he'd be in Green Bay.

Can't even begin to fantasize about all the H-back sets MLF would run with Bowers in the backfield. Jacobs/Bowers/Musgrave/Watson/Reed all on the field at the same time occupying every open space of turf would absolutely break the league. Like, who do you even cover?

Would certainly be hard to scheme against. And then you have Kraft to spell either for a breather/to punish someone on a block. Though, highly improbable, nice to think about force-trading in Madden 2025 lol.

Tried out the PFN simulator. Not sure how I feel about this one.

38. Darius Robinson EDGE Missouri
41. Zach Frazier OC West Virginia
61. Michael Hall Jr. DT Ohio State
65. Payton Wilson LB NC State
66. Cole Bishop S Utah
88. Mike Sainristil CB Michigan
164. Javon Foster OT Missouri
169. Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB Purdue
202. Trey Taylor S Air Force
219. Dylan McMahon OG NC State
245. Jackson Mitchell LB UConn
255. Cam Little K Arkansas

2025 TEN 1st

Traded down a few times, filled few holes and added a bunch of depth with guys I like, and landed Tennessee's 2025 first round pick (which is going to be Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri).

Wouldn't hate Guyton outside and Tom replacing Runyan Jr.

Zero chance they are moving Tom from RT.

They've already done this once with Elgton Jenkins, a guy who was better at OT than he has been at guard and center. They're going to get the best five offensive linemen on the field.

That's because they had arguably the best LT in football prior to his injury. That isn't apples to apples.

Tom was a top 3 RT last year. So yes, I guess it's possible they find the best RT in football. Just very, very unlikely.
