Episode notes
Use Zachariah Branch As A Gadget And Special Teams Weapon

- Hayden warns limited catch radius and small frame reduce traditional inside-second-tight-role upside.
Elijah Surratt Is A High Floor Contested Catcher
- Elijah Surratt is a polished contested-catch/stop-and-go boundary option with excellent timing and back-shoulder chemistry, projecting as a reliable red-zone/third-down target.
- Hosts note his college role and strength support high-floor NFL usage despite limited elite burst.
Jeremy Bernard Is A Glue Round Two Starter
- Jeremy Bernard grades as a glue player with versatile alignments, reliable hands and strong blocking willingness, offering a high-floor round-two starter profile.
- Both hosts reference low drop rate, 82nd percentile hand size, and usage across X/Z and backfield snaps.
