Risk Flags
3- Target Volume
Kanak sits behind a clear TE room: Gunnar Helm (2nd-year lead, 44 catches as a rookie), Daniel Bellinger (just signed 3yr/$24M), plus Kylen Granson and David Martin-Robinson. There is essentially no receiving role available in 2026.
- Draft Capital
Selected No. 225 overall (R7), Kanak isn't even a roster lock — analysts project he likely makes the team primarily as a special-teamer, not for offensive snaps.
- Developmental Project
A converted linebacker who played only one season at TE (44/533 at Oklahoma in 2025), his offensive polish is years away and his most likely NFL value is coverage-team tackles, not receiving production.
