02Scheme fit
Ideal system
West Coast timing offense, emphasizing short to intermediate routes with run-blocking responsibilities.
Inline Y-TEH-backSlot TE
Best role
Could compete for a Year 1 backup Y-TE role, with a ceiling as a reliable, mid-tier starter if his blocking and route running develop.
Wrong fit
Spread offense with minimal inline blocking demand, preferring athletic receiving specialists.
Blanchflower projects as a versatile tight end best suited for a system that values a traditional, all-around player with blocking upside.
