What Metrics Do You Use To Scout Tight End Draft Prospects?
Consider the following metrics. 40 time, agility score, 3 cone, shuttle times, vert leap, broad jump, bench press reps, catch radius, college dominator, breakout age, college yards per reception, college target share, height, weight, hand size, BMI, draft position, college stats, etc..

How do you evaluate these guys and what metric(s) are the most telling to you when it comes to projecting a tight end's success at the next level?

Personally, I like agility and 40 time. Catch radius is important, sure, but with the way the NFL is going, it's more about speed and agility. Overall quickness.

I am of the opinion that you should flip a sandwich/burger upside-down before you eat it. A lot of times, the sauce will be on top of the sandwich/burger, so by flipping it over the sauce hits your taste buds sooner (and it will taste better as a result).

Also should be less messy since the sauce wont drip down the veggies onto your fingers. No brainer here.

True, but the issue is if the sauce is on the bottom, it will also drip down faster, giving you less time to compensate, and it may make a greater mess. Not recommended if you are on a date, but for solo eating, a good strategy. The other problem is the burger patty is often the foundation. Flipping it upside down removes the solid base, for all kinds of shredded lettuce, tomato/pickle slice slip outs to occur, along with the added loss of time to adjust to sauce drips.

Poor turco had his thread completely derailed lol

Size speed combo. Agility and hands.

Other important factors are whether he can block or not and whether that factors into the scheme hes been drsfted into.

TE also usually take time to develop and i usually scour the waiver wire and pick guys up.

Hands, size, agility and speed to catch the falling sauce and pickles from the upside-down burger are all a plus.

It's really hard to use metrics to grade out TE, at least for me. So much goes into the position beyond it. Skill-wise, I just try to look at route running, separation, red-zone potential, and blocking ability (especially run blocking, which will increase the amount of formations they're used in).

I really believe the upside down/right side up burger eating debate is best decided on a case by case basis.

So you agree with me, then. If you are eating alone, eating it upside down is OK, for the potentially enhanced flavour stimulation, but on a date, it would be unwise to do it, due to the decreased stability of the sandwich and the more likelihood of a messy eating experience that would decrease the opportunity of a 2nd date and other benefits of the dating experience.

I also recommend eating a burger upside down, while listening to music, thus increasing and heightening multiple senses at once. My group of choice for this is ABBA. Not to be confused with ABBBA. I don't think anyone has ever heard of ABBBA, though, what a preposterous arrangement of letters.

Hate it when the pickle slips out of the bun

Is that a smaller pickle problem? I feel like a properly proportionate pickle relative to the bun doesn't have that issue. Perhaps the bun you use could try a larger pickle as an experiment?

[Pac_Eddy]

I don't go into metrics much when looking at rookie TEs. I go by opportunity to play and give a bonus to players with basketball backgrounds.

It takes a long time for TEs to develop into fantasy relevance that I rarely put draft capital into them.

You gotta leave the pickle out. Only slows down the eating process. Having a good drink to go with the burger is key.
