Question
The Raiders have Brock Bowers, who had a monster season as a rookie. But they also have Michael Mayer, who was the 35th pick of the draft the previous season. What was the last other team that had a roster with two tight ends selected with top-35 overall picks?
Answer
Atlanta Falcons. They took Kyle Pitts with the 4th pick of the 2021 draft, and that season also had Hayden Hurst, who had been a first-round pick by Baltimore. The Lions (Ebron, Pettigrew) and Bengals (Gresham, Eifert) in the previous decade had multiple years with two tight ends picked in the first round. The Jets seem to be the all-time leaders in this category, using the 9th pick of the 1995 draft on Kyle Brady after picked Johnny Mitchell 15th three years earlier.
