Draft Rico Dowdle over George Kittle if both are on the board. This is a cross-position call, so raw RB and TE points are not the tiebreaker: Rico Dowdle is RB29 and No. 78 overall, 101 spots ahead of George Kittle at TE31 after the board weighs replacement value, weekly startability, ceiling, role resilience, and playoff runway. George Kittle remains a strong roster-build alternative, but Rico Dowdle is the cleaner pick unless verified opportunity falls below 36.1% or the accepted team-scoring band changes.
