Eifert is a below average blocking TE.
So advantage kroft in blocking, advantage (big) Kroft in durability and advantage Eifert (big advantage) in receiving and route tree he can run.
I agree with Eifert being the better route runner and maybe receiving in terms of being more like a receiver, but I want our tight end to be a big, physical presence in the middle of the field, up the seam, and near the goalline, which Kroft seems like he's the more physical type for that. Even like this touchdown against the Browns, was big because it's Kroft making a physical, contested catch over two defenders.
You ever remember seeing Eifert making a catch like that? If he did, how many games did he miss because of injury following it?
I like Kroft's receiving ability more than Eifert's and I think he's a better fit for playing the defenses in the division.
