Prospect No. 22: TE Jalen Wydermyer

College: Texas A&M

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 255

Draft range: 2nd

Analysis: Wydermyer is my top-rated tight end in the 2022 draft class. Very good hands, sharp route-runner, and can make plays after the catch. Depending on where he lands, he has the potential to be a starter from day one. As for Carolina, I doubt they take a tight end in the top three rounds in back-to-back years, but who knows? Wydermyer is an intriguing prospect and is more polished as a receiving threat than Tommy Tremble. The Panthers have several other areas to address first but if they are to move around and gain picks, he could be of interest.

Analysis from NFL Draft Bible on Sports Illustrated:

Jalen Wydermyer has the athletic profile to be an impactful vertical receiver in the league, but his current deficiencies as a blocker hinder his overall ability as a tight end. His role may be somewhat up in the air in terms of his transition to the league because he isn’t dynamic enough to play in the slot permanently but also has a way to go as a blocker to make him a three-down starting in-line tight end in the league.
