It's crazy to see how many 1st round drafted TEs turn out lame in NFL besides flashing potential here & there.
Less tape to judge these TE's on with more and more teams moving to spread offenses.

Draft capital used to be a very good predictor of TE production during the days of Dallas Clark and Tony Gonzalez.. but it's been a crapshoot in recent years.

Going back to Dustin Keller, Brandon Pettigrew, Jermaine Gresham, Tyler Eifert, Eric Ebron it's been a while since these 1st round TE's have really hit.
Not a good sign for Fant & Hockenson, but we'll have to wait & see on that.
I'm a believer in Fant. Dude balled out by rookie TE standards and has looked good when he's played this year.

Hock.. I think he'll be fine, not sure if he'll be elite -- again college hasn't been a great indicator in recent years -- but he's showing signs of life.

Both of them are way ahead of other 1st round busts at this point in their careers.

He's been off my radar for a while... Just looked at ADP and he's TE8 ahead of Henry, Jonny and Gisecki... I'd expect that to change soon

Hearing Albert O might be getting some more snaps.

I like Albert, but I'd need to see a lot more out of him before I think he begins encroaching on a healthy Fant's touches.

Also highly inefficient during his "breakout" rookie year.

This poor man's Taysom Hill stuff isn't working. Taking the ball out of Wentz's hands for the 2 pointer after that throw to Scott? Classic over coaching.

Classic Danny Dimes. I think he's called that because everyone is scrambling to pick up the change he dropped? I can't remember, but I think that's it. :lol:
