...for a team absolutely desperate for a #2 target to step up in the passing game, none of them were very impressive.
Kroft: 42 catches/404 yards (9.6 AVG)/7 TD
Boyd: 22 catches/225 yards (10.2 AVG)/2 TD (Before the last play of the season, he was averaging 8.4 yards per catch.)
Uzomah: 10 catches/92 yards (9.2 AVG)/ 1 TD
So sure, if you're looking to run the dinkiest and dunkiest of pathetic offenses, those three are solid.
Otherwise you need actual legitimate receiving threats. Kroft is a good #2 TE at best, Boyd is a #4/#5 WR, Uzomah is a #3 TE. None of them would be starters on a good passing offense.
Kroft started all 16 games and failed to reach 30 yards in 10 of them. Heck, he failed to reach 15 yards in 8 of them.
They were in the same draft class. Interestingly enough, both their best seasons came in '15, too.
Eifert: 127 catches/1,537 yards (12.1 AVG)/20 TD
Reed: 275 catches/2,813 yards (10.2 AVG)/22 TD
Eifert's best season: 52/615 (11.8)/13 (71.1% of the offensive snaps)
Reed's best season: 87/952 (10.9)/11 (65.7% of the offensive snaps)
Ehhh ... Eifert can't catch, block, or score on IR 75% of the time.
