There is a reason he was a first round pick. Very talented route runner with good hands and goes up for the ball extremely well.

He is so much more talented than Uzo it isn't even funny and I loved Uzo. Uzo is stronger and a bit better of a blocker, thats it.

The Center, RG and RT positions were significantly upgraded and we brought back BJ Hill who is healthy over Larry O who still
might be back, we don't know. Carman played good at LG last season when he was there, he clearly is more comfortable on the 
left side and Pollack and the coaches have been praising him unlike early last season when he came in out of shape.

I give our Free Agency an A this year. I might of added a WR for depth I guess is my only critique.

We can really add to our CB and DT depth in this draft early. Same with OL and WR in the mid rounds.

Not sure I agree with that.

Uzomah is a bit faster than Hurst when it comes to straight line speed.
He's also bigger and longer arms.

Hurst may be a bit shiftier though.

It's hard to say though that Hurst will be some great receiving TE.
He's gotten eclipsed now by two different TEs - Andrews and Pitts.
I think Hurst's ceiling might be in the 600-700 yard range. Good, but not elite.
I think if he's used similar to Uzomah was last year, we'll probably see more in the 500 range.
