Fant and Hockenson were highly touted (Kittle maybe played a role in that?), but they're not game changers... Yet anyway. Gresham looked the part, but along comes Gronk. Pitts was billed as the GOAT, and he might still be. I was thrilled when they drafted Eifert...
Tight end is so tough to call.
True, have to see it in them and it isn't easy. I haven't really looked much at TE's in this Draft yet.
It would be nice to flip the script and have one of these beasts ourselves. I like Uzo but he ain't no Kittle or Kelce.

I have no trust in Waynes at all, at least Flowers has played well in a few games for us.
It is true that Bell is very physical but man, he gives up like 6 inches to every beast TE we would be facing including Andrews.

One thing that could go a long way is not giving them (the TEs) a free release. That makes that quick throws easy and high %. Re-route them and force them to get loose and you can throw off the timing.
Maybe have Bell bump the TE at the LOS and have Flowers take over the coverage or something alike...
