Oronde Gadsden Dynasty Value

The most productive non-first-round tight end in this class and it is not close. 142 receptions for 1982 yards and 14 touchdowns across 29 games at Syracuse, averaging 4.9 catches and 68.3 yards per game with 14.0 yards per reception. The 2022 breakout was massive: 61 catches for 969 yards and 6 touchdowns in 12 games, playing more like a big slot receiver than a traditional tight end. Injuries limited him to just 2 games in 2023, but he came back in 2024 with 72 catches for 922 yards and 7 touchdowns in 13 games, essentially picking up right where he left off. 243 pounds with a 4.67 forty, undersized for the position but with the speed and route-running to create mismatches from the slot. The fifth-round slot at R5.165 reflects blocking concerns and positional ambiguity more than the production, which is legitimately elite. If an NFL team commits to deploying him as a move tight end, the receiving could translate immediately.
