Just weird that Jason AssCole would report this. -
Probably the surest sign that they actually like Travis Kelce.

I like Gavin Escobar but there's no way around the fact that he's slow. I'm not sure why it was such a shock that he looked slow and didn't have much lower body explosion at the Combine.
This is part of why I steered toward Travis Kelce in #MockTwoBpk likes this. -
Kelce is one angry guy. It shows up on the field. It showed up off the field too, unfortunately. But I like it. He's sheer brutality mixed with great ball skills and really very good athleticism.

If Ireland is intent on brining back Fasano as the #2, do you think he'd go with another physical guy as the #1.... or do you think it could be possible we retain Fasano long enough to groom Kelce as his replacement and eventually roll with Kelce, Egnew, and Clay (or preferably a stud Hback like Gragg)? -

Anyone remember or not see this play by Egnew?

3 games from 2010 (vs Ill, Neb, Iowa) in case anyone wants to compare Egnew to this year's crop.

He is decent. But nothing to write home about. -
I think people get a boner over Escobar's height and length. There's more to being a great TE than passing the eye test though. -

What can ya say, he's an angry dude. -
By the way I still refuse to give up on Egnew himself. I just think if we're drafting a tight end then we ought consider an anti-Egnew as a foil to Egnew.
And if we are going to re-do the Egnew pick then Joe Fauria looks like he'll be available late.Xeticus, Mile High Fin, Zanno and 4 others like this. -

As for Escobar, I like him a lot. I think he could be your on the line Y tight end. To me, he looks faster on the field than what he timed at the combine. He has a smooth gait, not a rumbling type of runner. I believe he has the best, softest, most natural hands of any TE in the draft. He is a natural plucker. Has a real aversion to ever letting the ball get into his body making a catch. He tries pretty well as a blocker I think. Not the best, but the effort and desire to be a good blocker are there. He's moldable in that regard, IMO.

Don't make me go back over Egnew's combine and think "BUT HOW. HOW ARE YOU NOT PLAYING"

Escobar shows more want-to as a blocker than Egnew displays. That gives me more hope for his blocking developing than Egnew's blocking developing. In turn, that gives me more hope Escobar sees the field than Egnew seeing the field.
I'd rather not have to worry about either of them, though, and just take a guy who can block decently. -
