The highest grade among those five teams was a second-rounder. Two teams had him graded in the third round, and two teams had a high fourth-round grade on him.
..."[Goedert]'s not a great route-runner and wasn't a separation guy," said a NFC director of college scouting. "He is more possessional and doesn't win with suddenness or quickness. He had lots of drops, but you counter that with some spectacular catches. They threw him a million balls, so some drops are going to happen. We just don't see him as a special mismatch weapon."
That scouting report sounds eeirly similar to the so called "weaknesses" of Travis Kelce coming out of college too.
I personally think Dallas Goedert has all of the tools to become a very good TE at the next level.
