Bowers was a great college player but is he an undersized TE that’s a blocking liability or is he an over sized WR that’s going to have a short career going over the middle?
Brock Bowers is 6'4", 240.
For comparison, Tony Gonzalez played at 6'5", 245. Shannon Sharpe was 6'2", 228. Antonio Gates was 6'4", 255. Vernon Davis was 6'3", 245. Jared Kelce is 6'5", 250.
Yeah, some guys are giants like Gronk or Jimmy Graham, but at 6'4", 240 all you can say about Bowers is he might need to add 5 pounds of muscle in the NFL. That's a pretty easy ask. Not sure how you think he's undersized. He's a proven blocker too.

NFL scouts seem to think he is going to be significantly smaller than this at the combine. That and Kyle Pitts sucking royally are the two things that might make him drop a bit in the draft.

Is what Georgia list him at. He is probably closer to 6’3” with a playing weight around 220 lbs.
Most teams in the top 10 have bigger needs and return on there investment fast and that might be why a lot of Mock drafts have him falling. He will need to go to a team that is a passing offense and already have good WR’s. The Chargers at #5 would be a good fit, but they are probably going with Napers. If he makes it past #10 there will be teams like the Bengals trying to trade up for him. Raiders at #13 or the Colts at #15 is probably where he lands unless there is a trade. If there is receivers slide, or there is a run on WR’s he could fall to the Bengals at #18.
Jets at #11 have Conklin
Vikings at #12 have Hockenson
Bengals trade with the Vikings makes the most sense, but a lot of this could change when the Bears trade Fields.
There will be good TE option’s that will fall to late 2nd and early 3rd rounds because of how many good WR’s are in the draft.
Bowers is also young and his rookie contract will be up when he is 25. Kelce’s rookie contract was up when he was 28.
