I've got more excitement about Ferguson than this kid. Which isn't a knock on the guy as much as it shows I think highly of Ferg and his play making ability. It also highlights that if we weren't getting a dynamic TE there really wasn't a reason to take one this early. This kid is faster but when it comes to making plays after the catch I think Ferguson looks better. Schoon will run away from people better but he isn't difficult to tackle and doesn't make people miss.The scouts think he's capable of threatening vertically up the seam, which theoretically makes sense with his size and straight line speed, but it just feels like a lazy pick because they wanted a safe bet at TE and he's it, and now they're trying to pump him up into more than he is.
He'll be a fine player but it's gonna be a god damn miracle if he ever becomes a Pro Bowl caliber player.
Ultimately I just don't think it's going to be good value but with all draft picks I could be wrong. He is a rock solid player but with TEs you are either dynamic or you're kind of the same with everyone else. I don't see dynamic.
