GAMECHANGER: Why Georgia’s Oscar Delp Could OUTSHINE the 2026 NFL Draft’s Top Tight Ends

·31 min·1 clip

The hosts say Oscar Delp could be a top-15 type of tight end if Georgia had featured him more.

1. Locked On NFL Draft focuses on the 2026 tight end rankings, with Oscar Delp, Kenyon Sadiq, Eli Stowers, and Colston Loveland driving the discussion. 2. Damian Parson and Keith Sanchez host the show, and their separate rankings matter because they compare notes without sharing the list beforehand. 3. The episode asks whether Oscar Delp’s Georgia tape and testing make him a top-tier tight end despite limited featured usage. 4. Delp’s combine numbers are cited directly: 6'5", 245 pounds, a 4.48 forty, a 38-inch vertical, and a 10-foot broad jump. 5. The hosts say Georgia used Delp as a blocker often enough that his receiving talent was not fully accessed. 6. Parson points to a Tennessee corner-post touchdown from 2024 as an example of Delp manipulating coverage and separating on a downfield route. 7. Sanchez says Delp belongs in the same athletic bucket as Kenyon Sadiq and Eli Stowers. 8. The show also compares Delp to Colston Loveland, noting that both were viewed as high-end options before the draft conversation shifted. 9. Max Clare of Ohio State comes up as another tight end with strong movement skills but limited production because of the Buckeyes’ passing distribution. 10. The hosts describe Clare as a good route runner who can work crossing routes and attack the seam. 11. Michael Trigg is discussed as a receiver-like tight end with basketball background, ball skills, and contested-catch ability. 12. Trigg’s blocking is singled out as a major concern, and Sanchez says teams may choose to ignore that part of his profile. 13. Joe Royer of Cincinnati is presented as a strong all-around tight end with good football IQ and zone-beating route awareness. 14. Royer’s size and testing are mentioned alongside examples of vertical wins and a long catch-and-run versus UCF. 15. Marlon Klein of Michigan is described as a fluid mover with a wide catch radius and enough height-weight-speed traits to project forward. 16. Nate Boriacure of Texas A&M is framed as a steady, balanced tight end who handled split-flow, play-action, and backfield usage. 17. The tone is analytical and conversational, with both hosts challenging each other’s rankings in real time. 18. The format is list-based scouting talk, and the discussion moves from the top three to tiers four through ten. 19. College football draft fans who like tight end scouting will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting production-only rankings may skip it.
