Welch is a patient developmental story, going undrafted out of Wyoming, getting cut by Cleveland right away, and then spending real time on New Orleans' practice squad before finally sticking on the active roster. He projects right now as blocking and depth tight end help rather than a featured piece of the passing game.
Strengths: Earned his active-roster spot the hard way through consistent practice-squad development after an undrafted start to his career.
Weaknesses: No established NFL receiving role yet and limited draft/combine pedigree, so his ceiling as anything beyond depth is unproven.
