Uzomah was  better at that and I feel we need a TE that can really attack mid-deep middle of field.. and save $$ and draft a younger TE with more speed.   Now if he wants to do a 3 year 15 m.. im ok with that plus draft a TE in top 4 rounds

Oh believe me, I was one of those dudes who pointed out the low YPR throughout this year.
Most TEs were 10+ YPR.
Had he been a little more dynamic, he'd have probably been in the 500-600 yard range, as he had 52 rec.
To give him a bit of a pass though, he was the 4th option for a good amount of the year, whereas a good number of these TEs are higher in the food chain on their teams.
On top of that, Hurst's route tree has him going very short, unlike some of these other TEs.

So it's definitely a mix of non-elite athleticism and speed, but also how he was used.

Ultimately too, you sometimes have to pay a little above value to get/keep a guy, especially he basically played on a discount prior.
Going up to $7-8 mill APY kind of helps compensate that he only made $3.5 mill this past year. He was a great value for the price.
