What???

The dude had a 1,000 yards receiving his rookie year with a not very good Matt Ryan and had to fight through injuries and possibly worse QBs that us this year.

68 catches on 110 targets with 1 td last year.  Yeah man he crushed it.  And he was off to a stellar start this season until he got hurt

are you saying 2/3s of the starting tes in the nfl are first round worthy? 

Yes, if a redraft of their draft class were possible, about two thirds of starting tight ends (1 per team) would be selected in the first round (mostly late first).

The 3rd most yards among TEs despite having a bum for a QB. The only people that topped him were Kelce and Andrews, both of whom have good QBs.

Sure, I'd like to see more TDs for him, but Matt Ryan only had 20 passing TDs for that season.

The dude is probably a top 5 receiving TE and is only in his 2nd year.

I think they are not the same at all. Washington is honestly a good run blocker that has a freakish build and could probably serve as a 6th lineman/pass option in addition to being TE.

Washington is still pretty raw, but Ian Thomas was drafted solely for being an athletic TE. He honestly was good at nothing else, and that point has been proven (although I guess he has improved some at blocking).

The TE from South Dakota St. is another TE that could be worth a look

If we draft a TE - I want a TE that caught more than 45 balls over 3 years..

7 in 2020
10 in 2021
28 in 2022

Dalton Kincaid caught 70 in 2022
Michael Meyer caught 67 in 2022
Sam Laporta caught 58 in 2022

It's not his fault he's stuck behind Brock bowers, who could easily be a top 10 pick in next year's draft, and plays on a Georgia team that pulled their starters in the 3rd/4th quarter in probably half their games.

Those 3 were pretty much the only receiving threat on their team, so naturally they are going to have more receptions.

Regardless though, this is one of the better drafts I can recall for TE talent. I think we could get a very good one in the 2nd round.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
