I think most of the talking heads had problems with grading Trautman because of the competition he was going against in college.

He looked like a man going against boys in his highlights videos, so it was hard to determine how much of that was his ability versus the level of competition.

I think it ultimately came down to his great performance in the senior bowl and the combine that made people realize he was performing at a high level regardless of the competition.

I wanted him out of the top end of last year's TE group because I thought he had the most potential upside (while maybe the biggest risk as well), and I thought at the time that it was a great move by the FO to give up their remaining picks to move up and get him.
