00:00Now, it's like you can get to the tight end 6, 7, 8 and feel like, all right, you know,
00:07I'm going to get five catches, 80 yards and maybe a touchdown that just didn't exist 20
00:12years ago.
00:13That's just a tight end position that's evolved, right?
00:17Good or bad.
00:18Back, what did you and I talk about during the break?
00:20All right, running backs, how they used to carry the ball 30 plus times.
00:23Well, they would do that because tight ends were blocking, right?
00:25They were blocking tight ends for the most part to give that extra offensive alignment.
00:30They just don't do that anymore.
00:31All right.
00:32It's great if you can.
00:33And Gronk was a great blocker.
00:34But now the tight ends are really a glorified wide receiver.
00:36These guys all can run like the wind.
00:38They're bigger than the state.
00:39These are the cornerbacks.
00:40They have mismatches everywhere.
00:41So that's what the tight end position has become here, which is, once again, it's what
00:45the NFL wants, right?
00:46We want 80 point ball games here, which the tight end does help.
00:50And they're certainly there.
00:51The big target over the middle, they help out the young quarterbacks here greatly.
00:56Now, I would still love to have Sam Porter.
01:00He's not going on round one, round two.
01:01It's like third round now is where you're looking at the first tight end going here,
01:05once all the superstars are gone.
01:07Kelsey is certainly there with them as well.
01:10I think Sam Porter is going to have a huge year.
01:12I do.
01:13I'd like to wait a little bit, maybe a little later on and get Dalton Kincaid, because I
01:16don't know who else Josh Allen is throwing to.
01:18You know, and I think he's going to have a big season here.
01:19Dalton Kincaid's touchdowns, by the way, five and a half, taking the over on that big time.
01:24Allen has to look at him in the red zone or the end zone a whole lot this year.
01:28The tight ends come a long way, and I'll be waiting this year because, you know, if
01:32I wait till I get the eighth and ninth tight end, that can be Jake Ferguson, 10, 11.
01:37I'm fine with Jake Ferguson as my tight end one.
01:39And I was able to load up on those running backs, load up on those wide receivers.
01:42So nothing's really changed for me.
01:43I generally waited anyway on tight end.
01:46Now I'm even more willing to do it because I know I'm going to end up with someone decent,
01:48not someone I'm like, oh, I got this guy this week.
01:51What am I going to do?
