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…

Not a good blocker has some things to work on being a receiving TE in the league. Definitely has all the traits though it's a good pick for the 4th round [Reply]

Appreciate that. I definitely felt TE was a need unless they felt Gray could pick up enough of the slack if/when Kelce hung it up for good. [Reply]

I'm not a Gray fan. I think Wiley has waaaay more upside if it all comes together you have a good Kelce replacement [Reply]

Of course he's not the athlete Kelce is but he can do a lot of the same things.
I bet he’s not that athletically different than where Kelce been the last few years. Hoping he’s prime Kelce is ridiculous but if he can backfill 65-70% post retirement it’s a home run. [Reply]
