Remembering Charlie Young, NFL Tight End and Pro Bowl Star, Dies at 75

Former NFL tight end Charlie Young, a USC standout and first-round pick, died at 75. He played for the Eagles, Rams, 49ers and Seahawks, earning Pro Bowl honors in each of his three Philadelphia seasons and earning rookie First-Team All-Pro. In 187 regular-season games (142 starts) he posted 418 receptions for 5,106 yards and 27 TDs, and appeared in two Super Bowls (Rams in XIV and started for the 49ers in XVI, which SF won).

Browns bolster TE corps with Carsen Ryan at No. 248

With the 248th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Cleveland selected Carsen Ryan, a four-year tight end who played at UCLA, Utah, and BYU, posting 74 receptions for 1,020 yards and seven touchdowns in college. He joins a Browns TE room that includes Harold Fannin Jr., Jack Stoll, Blake Whiteheart, Brenden Bates, Sal Cannella, and Caden Prieskorn, and comes as Cleveland also drafted TE Joe Royer at No. 170, as the team continues to stock its pass-catching corps.

Eagles upgrade TE, OT on Day 2 and land Greenard in trade

On Day 2 the Eagles added tight end Eli Stowers (Vanderbilt) at 54 and tackle Markel Bell (Miami) at 68, then traded two 2026 third-round picks and a 2027 seventh for edge defender Jonathan Greenard, who signed a four-year, $98 million deal. Stowers offers elite athleticism but needs blocker development; Bell provides rare size and versatility, potentially starting later if development goes well; Greenard could be a meaningful rush contributor if he returns to form. Grades given in the piece: Stowers B+, Bell B, Trade B.

Jaguars nab Boerkircher at 56, beefing up the TE corps

Jacksonville used its Day 2 pick to take Texas A&M tight end Nate Boerkircher with the No. 56 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. Boerkircher, a 6-foot-5, 245-pounder, played at Nebraska (2020–24) and Texas A&M (2025), finishing with 38 receptions for 417 yards and four touchdowns in his college career (19 receptions, 198 yards, 3 TDs in 2025). He becomes the third Aggie drafted by the Jaguars, who did not have a Round 1 pick this year and still hold 10 selections left across rounds 3–7, continuing Jacksonville’s theme of bolstering the offense and blocking.

Broncos Map Day 3 Targets to Shore Up LB, TE, RB and OT

After taking Tyler Onyedim on the defensive line, the Broncos’ Day 3 focus is linebacker, tight end, running back, and offensive tackle. Top linebacker targets include Kyle Louis, Deontae Lawson, Harold Perkins Jr., Kaleb Elams-Orr and Bryce Boettcher, with Elams-Orr’s coverage ability and Lawson’s run defense standing out. At tight end, Joe Royer and Michael Trigg are the best fits, with Justin Joly, Jack Endries and Josh Cuevas as later options. At running back, Nick Singleton and Adam Randall offer desirable profiles to complement the room. On the offensive line, Boise State’s Kage Casey is a common target to develop behind the starters, with Isaiah World also cited as an athletic developmental tackle. Overall, Day 3 aims to add immediate depth and long-term potential across these spots.

Eagles land versatile TE Eli Stowers at No. 54, eyeing big upside

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers with the 54th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. A former high school quarterback who transitioned to tight end in college, Stowers posted increasing receiving production across New Mexico State and Vanderbilt (2023: 35-366-2; 2024: 49-638-5; 2025: 62-769-4) and demonstrated elite athleticism at the NFL Combine (4.51-second 40, 45.5-inch vertical, 11'3" broad jump). At 6'4", 239 pounds he profiles as a big-receiver weapon who will need to improve blocking to become a complete tight end, with time to develop behind Dallas Goedert in 2026.

Lions eye five depth targets for 2026 NFL Draft

Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes intends to add depth at five positions—tackle, edge rusher, safety, tight end, and cornerback—in the 2026 NFL Draft, while sticking with a best-player-available approach across their nine picks. With Sewell anchored at tackle and Borom/Manu in the mix, the Lions will look to bolster the edge opposite Hutchinson, address health questions in the safety group, consider a long-term replacement at tight end beyond LaPorta, and improve the cornerback depth behind D.J. Reed as injuries and rotation demand more talent.
