The Minnesota Vikings select Pitt TE Gavin Bartholomew with the 202nd pick of Round 6 in the NFL Draft. Bartholomew is an athletic TE who was a favorite target of QB Kenny Pickett back when he was at Pitt. He had the fifth highest Relative Athletic Score (RAS) among Combine TEs at 8.87. But, his target share in 2024 was fourth-worst among Combine TEs at 10.9%. His 2024 Yards per Route Run was dead last among those players at 0.8.
Bartholomew has some upside but seemed to get worse every season at Pitt
The Vikings did not have a third TE on the roster, so Bartholomew has an open slot to make the roster.
His athleticism is intriguing, especially with how Bartholomew flashed as a young true freshman with Pickett.
He is unlikely to pass TEs T.J. Hockenson or Josh Oliver on his way to fantasy relevancy.
As a late-round pick, Bartholomew doesn't add fantasy value
He is a swing for upside, but Bartholomew will have to make the roster then take time to even find snaps or playing time.
Keep an eye if there is some buzz, but he is not worth any type of rookie pick no matter the format.
