TE is not a position where multiple guys go in the first every year.
It's also not a position where the best NFL TE's necessarily are first rounders anyway.
Kelce, Kittle, Gronk-none were first rounders.
I don't know if I'd call Sanders a 'reach', but I don't know that I'd go that high either.
Sanders is 20 years old with tons of potential. Yes many of the great TE's from the past were taken in the mid rounds but in the current climate the very best are going earlier and earlier now. Hokinson, Pitts and Kincaid were taken in the first round. Mcbride, Mayer and Leporta in the second.
KC met with Sanders and it might be the smart play to ensure we get him with the first because I'm not sure he makes it to our second tbh. But I do think a WR or LT will be there for our second. [Reply]

That's my thinking. Rather get a guy who could potentially replace Kelce longterm than pick a WR just because we're desperate to improve the room. [Reply]

Fun fact: Sanders 10 yard split, 20 yard split and 20 yard shuttle were all faster than Kelce.
Pretty fluid pass catcher. Could work well here IMO
He had a ton of first round buzz early and now has seemed to fall or at least stagnate while others rise. [Reply]

I'd have Legette in the 1st too if last season was the only available metric, especially in a normal WR draft. [Reply]
-Brian Thomas overrated?
-Jermaine Burton 4th best WR, already off some teams' boards?
-Troy Franklin's Gauntlet drill worst ever?
-Is Coleman fast or slow?
-AD Mitchell leave you wanting for more?
-Is R Wilson the #6 or #15 WR in this draft?
-Does Legette's production translate?
-Can Ladd play outside?
-Walker is a great WR but only 68% receiving grade bc of drops?
-Thrash a better athlete than his testing?
-Pearsall best offseason so far?
-Polk good but not special?
-Corley a WR or RB?
-Will B Rice JR be on he board for the Bears?
-Steve Smith hates J Wilson? [Reply]
Noted PFF touts their GAS Metric (Game Athleticism Score) as the best indicator of Pro Production for WRs over the last several years, but can't find it anywhere.
