Summary: Dulcich went from walk-on to being a good tight end for the Bruins and ultimately a second-day prospect for the 2022 NFL Draft. During the shortened 2020 COVID-19 season, Dulcich flashed with 26 catches for 517 yards and five scores. In 2021, he collected 42 receptions for 725 yards and five touchdowns. Dulcich then put together an impressive week at the Senior Bowl and worked out well at the combine.

Dulcich is a solid receiving tight end who could be a valuable contributor in the NFL and a mismatch problem for defense. He is a good athlete with the speed to generate separation from coverage. He has a nice burst out of his breaks to create space from defenders and get open for his quarterback. Dulcich has nice twitch for a tight end of his size and second-gear quickness. He does a nice job of working the middle seam and slants, plus is capable along the sideline. With his surprising speed, Dulcich can challenge defenses vertically running down the seam or along the sideline.

As a receiver, Dulcich could stand to get more consistent with his crisping up his route-running. He can round off some routes and take extra steps, but that is something he can improve with pro coaching. Another point of improvement is he will need to work on getting off jams and using his size to push defenders away when they initiate contact in his routes. Dulcich will allow himself to get tied up and re-routed even though he has a size advantage, so getting more aggressive and physical with defensive backs will make him an even more dangerous receiver.



After the catch, Dulcich shows nice running ability, darting downfield and using his strength to power through defensive backs, which lets him pick up some extra yardage after contact. Dulcich should be a valuable player in the red zone as a pro given his receiving ability and capablility of contributing as a blocker. He is willing to throw his body into defenders. Dulcich could stand to refine his technique to sustain his blocks and improve his hand placement to tie up defenders rather just throwing his torso into them.

In the 2022 NFL Draft, Dulcich could go as high as the second round and probably won’t go lower than the fourth round. His size, speed and athleticis give him the potential to develop into a starting three-down tight end in the NFL.



Player Comparison: Jared Cook. Dulcich reminds me of Cook, and they are very similar in size and in receiving ability. Cook (6-5, 254) has been a solid receiving tight end in his career after being a late third-round pick in 2009. Dulcich could go in the same range during the 2022 NFL Draft. As a pro, Dulcich has the potential to be a similar-caliber tight end.
