Rationale for the Sample Pick

[THE PISTONS]

I guess we should be grateful they just didn't say they drafted him because you can't get a TE at Big Lots.

When your scout is like 'We don't want a TE that stretches the seam on passing plays for 2-3 big plays a game...IF we have to take him out to block. We'll take the blocking guy instead.' <-- That's weak. Especially because they use him mainly for blocking now and take him out on plays where the TE goes into the route.

Our offense is starved for big plays.
