Someone compared him to George Kittle during the pick. He’s exactly that. Go look at Kittle’s stats in college. 

yeah, because Kittle was a raw talent...and he rapidly developed when he went into the NFL. 

Notre Dame kid still has to develop in the pass game.   And Kittle was a rocket ship in terms of his growth.

So we heard that the new in thing is positional flexibility. He will get RB, TE, H-back looks. He is a work in progress as a reliable bpass catcher. Really good athlete. Nasty run blocker (got to love that). Now that sounds like a guy I liked I'm Washington a few years ago: Chris Cooley, another 3rd rounder people screamed was a terrible pick. now Cooley had a lot more production but was a small school guy.

When you figure that you want at least 90% of the balls going to CMC and not a TE his hands are not really a concern. He's going to get open simply because the defense won't be giving him much attention.

Yeah just watched that and got excited. Not sure why they are questioning his hands. Still highlights are exactly that.

Oh of course.

I watched the cut-up of him v. Boston College and the dude just wasn't targeted. Blocked a few guys into oblivion though.

Obviously had to go and find out whether he had a highlights tape of him catching the ball and, yep. Shows strong hands - so it must just have been a bad QB / stacked TE room thing 'cos he can play.

Also as I said before. Defenses won't really be targeting him with CMC on the field. Could be a match up problem. I really like the picks so far sans Horn.

His hands are fine:

 

He had a 12.5% drop rate.  That’s bad.  And he largely was open....because he was the designated blocking TE. 

I mean he has great upside.  His blocking alone makes him better than Ian Thomas.  But he most definitely was bad route runner with bad hands vs the other two TEs Notre Dame did use as pass catchers

Careful, you might get pooed for stating unpleasant facts about one of our draft picks!

Yeah thats pretty bad but honestly his true role is at fullback. He really doesn't have much tape on him but as you said ND avoided using him as s Receiving target.

I like the pick.   Best blocker at TE in the draft.  That ain’t sexy but we could use the help up front in Brady’s scheme. 

We can develop him too.  He is a good athlete.

After watching film I can’t wait to see him knock someone’s head off.  
 

I think he is one of my favorite picks so far.  CMC will love him. 
 

Hopefully he can grow as a pass catching weapon.  He is only 20. 

He is really good in the short pass game too in the middle of the field.  Quick hitter to the WR and he comes in lays defenders out.

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
