The transition from college to the NFL is much quicker now, especially since we had Kroft as our #1 tight end on our draft board.
Just seems like a waste to not use him from the get-go.
I get what you're saying about already having enough weapons, but it would be so hard for defenses to cover both tight ends up the seams and both receivers out wide, not to mention that Hill wouldn't be a bad safety valve himself if no receivers are open (which would be unlikely, and I know that Hill would have a lot of blocking responsibilities, but if a play is taking that long and blocking breaks down, he would obviously realize something is up and turn and look for the ball. Not to mention that, if they have that defenders covering, there likely wouldn't be enough pass rushers for Hill to have anyone to block).
We will see how Kroft adjusts to the pro game. I like having multiple options myself and an extra blocker
out there is never a bad thing. Don't forget about Fisher getting snaps at TE as well, the dude is already an
excellent blocker and he can catch if we want to run the jumbo packages.
