I was scratching my head over this one when the pick was made, mainly because I had never heard of him and he had minimal production as a pass receiver in his college career. Less than 400 yards receiving for his entire career. So it's a little surprising to me that the so-called "experts" in the media who are grading these picks seem to think this is an okay pick. They don't have any problem with it. It seems to me that if you want a backup blocking TE, just get a backup offensive lineman to practice running routes and catching passes. Backup blocking TE seems like the last thing a team would care about.
