Seems like the kind of guy I would have been pumped to land in the 5th or 6th round. Not sure I see the value in a 3rd round pick for a blocking TE/H-Back with limited pass catching ability. 

He was projected as a third rounder by most.

Bearing in mind McKitty was taken in the 3rd round, NFL teams clearly value the TE position.

Lost Armah and Manhertz this off season.  Dan Arnold is basically a large WR. We needed a capable blocker. If he can improve his receiving skills we got a steal.

I 100% don't disagree but blocking TE's can be had relatively easily later in the draft, as UDFA's or free agents. 

Not so much knocking the player, more critical of the positional value.

His passing game is underrated and I feel really good about this staff's ability to develop him. Catching has to improve (extremely Manhertz in that regard) but he has plenty of role models here and when he gets the ball in his hands he's more athletic than Thomas or Olsen even. Also plays with more ferocity which bodes well for his work ethic. He's going to get a lot of open looks because of the attention on everyone else. Great situation for all involved.

That is actually not a bad point. As bad as we are likely to be at LT, having a nasty blocking TE could be the safety net that limits how much damage our LT situation could cause. 

Considering how likely it is that our LT is a turnstile, if we see a lot of schemed help from Tremble(or others) that would make me feel a lot better about the coaches understanding the roster situation a little better. The anti-Shula move.

 

lol We all know that LT is going to be a challenge this year. But I don't think many folks actually believe it is going to be that atrocious.

 

Or...I could be wrong.

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.
