Re: Who Will Be The Best TE From The 2017 Class?
I think this can serve as a reminder that it is important for owners to stick to their gut even if the consensus disagrees. Plenty of times you'll end up being wrong - since consensus usually = safe. But when you are right ...
Looking back at the 2017 DLF Rookie rankings post NFL Draft - Kittle was not even a top 8 TE rookie. So of course it is amusing 2 years later after he has a surprise breakout of epic proportions.
That is why I may disagree & be pleased when owners took guys like Darrell Henderson early (ie top 6) but at the same time I respected their willingness to stick to their gut rather than follow the crowd.
The 4 owners that voted Other (which I assume includes Kittle) are the only people, out of the 215 who voted, that can say that they believed in Kittle from the get-go.
It will be interesting to revisit this again in another 2 years and see how things stand. At the moment the only one listed completely out of the running looks to be Bucky Hodges.

Re: Who Will Be The Best TE From The 2017 Class?
Ya, I picked him up with the last pick of the HoF draft. I was pretty high on him, but couldn’t justify taking him with a mid-2nd given his valuation and how many highly touted TEs were in that draft.ArrylT wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2019 3:55 pmI think this can serve as a reminder that it is important for owners to stick to their gut even if the consensus disagrees.

Re: Who Will Be The Best TE From The 2017 Class?
Yeah, though not surprising at all as he went way, way later in the NFL draft compared to the big 3 in the 1st of all things - 3 TEs in the first round of the NFL draft was unbelievable.
