No more celeck time
Old school TE who will compete to be TE2, solid pick in the 6th. Mackey Award winner so he's got a shot to make the team. We'll see how much Dwelley has developed. If both perform well, it could push Celek off the team.

Celek 2.0 just trade a little bit of blocking ability for better hands.
Good pick, replaces Celek either this year or next

Looking at his spider graph, he looks like a 3 cone guy. Probably more athletic than Celek. I wonder how well he blocks.

Some skills that might lead to a solid TE2. Good effort in blocking but will need to polish technique.

He has good hands and some production. He ran a slow 40 time. Kaden Smith looks covered in all the film. Which would be because of his 40 time. He gets caught from behind a lot too which you would with a 4.92 time. It's OK in the 6th round.

The ramped up focus on Kittle should help this guy out.

So not twitchy
I don't see him competing with Celek. Not at this point at least. Would be great if I'm wrong. If he outright earns the number 2 TE spot, this is an A+ pick.
My favorite pick today. He knows how to use his size to shield off the defender. He made a lot of nice back shoulder fade catches last season.
