The Chicago Bears drafted Cole Kmet, the consensus top tight end, in the 2020 NFL Draft. Out of Notre Dame, Kmet went in the second round on Friday night. Chicago hopes he can be everything Trey Burton wasn’t with the team, and that may be a tall order. If you’re reading this waiting for me to get excited about this fantasy prospect, prepare yourself for disappointment (somebody CC this article to the Bears management).
Kmet wasn’t a second-round talent; he just so happens to be the best tight end in a bad class. This class may have been worse than the 2015 class led by clear-cut top tight end Maxx Williams.
