Yea, I think the TE class is sneaky decent.I wouldn't read too much into it other than he is a wanna be rapper. But the whole out for the season with a concussion thing did worry me. I know some viewed it as a way to tuck him away for the future. But to me a guy like this with little football experience needs to spend every week with the team practicing. Not sitting around doing other lazy shit like this. At this point I've sort of written him off as a potential nice surprise but no one that I'd bank on to replace Witten.
Good news is that it turned into a pretty nice TE draft. I'm not a big Mark Andrews guy as I think he is a limited athlete with limited experience with his hand on the ground. But I'm a fan of Goedert in the second. Gesicki in the third. And then Akins, Thomas or Fumagalli in the fourth round range. I think any of those guys could really help us.
Gesicki is a horrific blocker though, and not like Evan Engram who was undersized but still gave effort, he just gets ragdolled around and dominated at the POA with terrible technique and hand use.
He's an awesome target in the passing game though, so I'd be good with taking a chance on him in the 3rd, but we just have to know what to expect as far as his blocking goes. He does have a decent frame and if he can add some bulk he could become functional but that could impact his athleticism.
