1	Mark Andrews	2018	2022	0.1	0.1	0.0	4.4	56.0	0.4
2	D.J. Moore	2018	2022	0.5	4.2	0.0	4.6	65.0	0.3

 

If DJ is worth a 1st round selection, so is Mark Andrews at TE.

why are you comparing him to dj moore as I can give you 20 other wrs that totally justify their draft position in that same time frame?

 

You literally just stated Geodert is a first round talent at tight end, fuging crazy man and TJ Hock just got traded in division.  Pitts just had a lol 2nd year and he was fuging picked 4rth.  fuging a man do your homework instead of simply googling articles

You and few others would pass on a TE in the 1st if you knew they'd give you over 40 yards and more TDs per game than your #1 WR. 

#1 wr on a 5 and 7 win team

 

why is he your benchmark?

I'm the one doing homework. You're just yapping.

I'm comparing their receiving #s to our #1 WR. I shouldn't need to explain why a TE averaging anywhere close to your #1 WR is worthy of 1st round selection.

As to your original point of tight ends NEVER hold 1st round value, you can see from the names provided there is usually 1 per draft. I'd argue 1-2. Still makes you wrong.

Because DJ would be drafted in the 2018 1st round again based on his production so far.

As someone who played TE in college it is much easier to get open as a TE than it is as a WR.

 

You shouldn't be comparing TE's to WR's as they are completely different positions. TE's don't get jammed like WR's do on a consistent basis. TE are facing slower LB's. It's so easy for TE's to find a zone in a defense.

 

It's why the position is becoming more of a threat to a offense. Im glad these guys are getting more attention as they can become huge threats to any offense.

I don't disagree that finding holes in zones may be easier for TEs. Still, how many teams have tight ends as their leading receivers? Looks like just KC and Baltimore.

It's not that many elite TE's in the league to be fair.

I think Pitts is being underutilized in Atlanta.

I’d rather sign Geseki in FA

No trade up.

 

We can get our TE at #39 the kid from Georgia Darnell Washington. Dude can block and he was underutilized because of his teammate Brock.

Dalton Kincaid from Utah is better than Both.

Washington is gonna be an extra OT that maybe catches a first down or TD a couple times a year. Kincaid isn't gonna block. Both are more like a why not take them in the 3rd if they're sitting there kinda guys. I'd go DE or Josh Downs/Jalin Hyatt. There is a decent chance our dumbass Rhule/Mcadoo  combo had no idea how to use Tremble or Ricci, and wasted reps of Thomas/Sullivan for that stupid 4 TE rotation

Ian Thomas is already that big mf from Georgia

Ian Thomas and Darnell Washington are nothing alike...

So what I'm getting here is that :

 

Getting a Tight-End should be the play with our 2nd Pick?

It’s shaping up to be a very good TE draft but certain teams and peeps don’t value them highly. We’ll see. I guess it will Al depend on our new HC and scheme. 

A guy to keep tabs on is Schoonmaker as a late 2nd to 3rd rounder. He’s got skills.
