Kelce is one of those luck of the draw TE...he was taken in the 3rd. LaPorta (2nd round) would've been great and he's showing it. I would hope in the first round you can find a get a more surefire great DT/LB.
Hmmm...interesting research exercise. We can quasi-safely assume the Texans won't be picking earlier than 10 or lower than 20, right? What DT/LB/TE have been drafted there over the past 10? years. How'd they do? Expand the parameters however.
The current buzz is that is exactly what he is. He's not A TE, he's THE TE. He's the Caleb Williams of TEs currently rated #6 behind 4 QBs and MHJ. The only reason he might fall is position bias.
Well I dont know, which one they missed the most on week 1, Chris Jones or Kelce? both are "freaks" at their position, Jones being a DT.
Here are some highlights, not because I'm a fanboy advocate of us drafting him, but because I love watching good football players play good football. The last half-ish is devoted to him blocking, which is nice. Highlights are highlights, and I'm sure there's some 30 minute technical youtube breakdowns by Pat The Punter and such.
Lets see Dalton Schultz had a bad 3 games but in week 4, he played good, and I think with Tunsil and Howard back, he can go to catching passes again, instead of staying to protect Stroud, but like you said its always good if we had another WR stud.
Bowers is the closest thing I’ve seen to Vernon Davis physically at TE. Not quite as fast but a helluva better blocker
He is not a freak. He plays like a 6'4'' TE. Not as big as Gronk, but I see that in his game. His not a sub 4.5 speedster.
...and Gronk was a 2nd round pick. You just never know if you get lucky and strike gold in the draft. Brady is the perfect example of that at QB.
I wouldn't take a TE that high unless it were like the 49ers situations of the past, where injuries at key positions derailed Super Bowl aspirations .. Therefore giving the team a high pick.
