Travis Kelce 3rd (Tyler Eifert)
Zach Ertz 2nd (Eifert)
Dalton Schultz 4th (Hayden Hurst)
Mike Gieseki 2th (Hayden Hurst)
George Kittle 5th (OJ Howard).
None of the leaders were taken in RD or the 1st TE taken in their class and over half were taken in RD 3 or later.. Of all positions I think TE is one in which you can wait
Exactly. This was money. They will draft a TE in the 3/4 round that’s a receiver type. They will use Sample for the run game. It was about money for both parties. But a replacement as a low salary rookie for Uzomah’s 8 million is huge. A roster is give and take. Your moves may strengthen you in an area but weaken you elsewhere. You hope that your decision net results in a better roster. And the juggling of the dollars is the bus driver
