I keep thinking Jared Wiley (TE-TCU) would be a really good understudy to Travis Kelce.
Both former QBs, both very good option-route guys who understand spacing and timing, and Wiley has an athletic profile similar to Kelce (long, lean, vertical speed). Wiley isn't the blocker…

Give me that 6'6" frame with loose hips. Teach the rest.
Yeah, shit pisses me off
Like Bowers might be a stud matchup problem, but he's just a big WR/slot. There's no tight end in that frame. [Reply]
Noah Gray is who he is for sure. Not a bad player by any means but he's not a difference maker. Also Blake Bell isn't going to be back next year and this guy is a different kind of player. [Reply]
Love the speed and size combo at that position. Looks to have solid hands as well.
One nitpick I have is that he seems to lose balance easily with the ball in his hands. Not sure if he gets too excited and starts running like Luigi, or if he gets too top heavy/forward-leaning, but again, super minor thing to bitch about in the fourth round.

Let's hope he's an all-pro some day.
Gimme a big dude with a little speed and some wiggle then trust him to the dude that made Chad Lewis a multiple time pro bowler.
I'd give no worse than even odds that this guy makes a Pro Bowl someday because Andy is a TE God.
It's why I had zero interest in a 1st or 2nd day TE. Andy will make a 1,000 yard receiver out of a decent set of tools. [Reply]
