R1 P27 TE Dallas Goedert, South Dakota State

It’s kind of difficult to pick one of the TE’s between Goedert, Gesicki and Hurst but there is some logic to this choice. With our newfound commitment to the run game, I think we need a well-rounded TE who contributes as a blocker. That rules out Gesicki. Then it’s a matter of what concerns you more... Hurst’s age or Goedert’s lower level of competition? I’ll take Goedert.
I think I'd take a flyer on a TE in the 3rd vs the 1st. I'm still high on Rashaan Evans (LB) @ #27.

I still like Evans too. It all depends on how much faith Payton and Dennis Allen have in Alex Anzalone. I think Demario Davis and AJ Klein are locked in at Mike and Sam... I think Anzalone will get every chance to be the Will. If not then Evans would be a good fit there.

Liking a TE in the 3rd. Does anyone think Gesicki will still be there if we trade up a little in the 3rd?

Mike is peaking at the best possible moment (Pro Day & NFL combine). Big, strong, fast & appears to be a freak of nature. He's compared well to Jimmy G. The only negative from a lot of scouts is his blocking .

I just don't think he'll be on the board after Day 2. Would love to have him though.

Opps, above I responded to the wrong post from you.

Thanks for the insight, K.

Maybe he'd be a consideration if we trade down (ha) if all our targeted players are already gone by then.

One of those for me was DT Taven Bryan but I don't like that an analyst said Bryan wasn't consistent stopping the run. I am so tired of being gashed right up the middle.

So, liking DT Phillips more now. Or TE.
