He won the John Mackey Award winner and had 90 catches for 1,121 yards last season. He left Fort Collins with his record of receiving prolific weapons in school history.

1. Cincinnati Bengals
Many people expect the Bengals to use the 31st overall pick on McBride. They are going to give priority to the defence. The team may choose a tight end later in the draft. So they may opt for the 6-foot-4, 246-pound Colorado native. He has the physical and the other traits required to play in the Bengals. So he is worth considering in the first round.
The Bengals need a long time option for the tight end, and so McBride is a good fit. The team signed veteran tight end Hayden Hurst for a one year deal with the season. Also, CJ Uzomah became part of the New York Jets.
2. New York Giants
In the offseason, the New York cut New York Giants, and Evan Engram has signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. So the team desperately needs offensive playmakers. So the great prospect for the team is Trey McBride. He has potential and the required skillsets. The Giant’s head coach pressed on the need for tight ends during his stint as the Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator. So he is wise to do the same thing as the Big Blue will add the Colorado State standout.
Can McBride become the next Dawson Knox? We cannot say for sure. But one can think Daboll would like to see such an outcome in the future.
3. Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers also want McBride. But if they are not interested in taking him during the 17th overall, they may have to trade up. Yet he may be traded by another team by then. It seems the chargers already have an established franchise with quarterback Justin Herbert. They can still have a young, explosive tight end to complement the 2021 Pro Bowl selection. The Chargers have four seventh-round picks. At the same time, the Miami Dolphins are entering with four total selections.
4. Washington Commanders
Washington also has an opportunity to select Trey McBride. They have overall six chances to upgrade their offence this season. According to the expectations, great quarterback Logan Thomas will return this season. He turns thirty-one this year and will be a cap cut next offseason.
The team owns the 47th overall pick, around the range where McBride is expected to be selected in the mock drafts. But the collaboration of McBride and the Commanders will depend on what the team will do with their No. 11 pick.
Conclusion
These are the four top spots McBride has in the mock drafts. We do not know which team will have him for this season. Let’s wait and see.
