I put a little more effort in the TE department this draft. Kelce went in the second round. Gronk and Ertz in the third. That's too rich for me but I drafted Engram in the 6th round ( yes I expect some regression, but he'll be fine in the long run), then drafted Hunter Henry in the 18th round and then Goedert in round 23. Saw this article on Goedert .
Eagles Training Camp Practice Notes: Dallas Goedert looks unstoppable in the red zone
Red zone day might as well be called Dallas Goedert day. The rookie tight end simply dominates down there. Goedert’s first reception in 11-on-11 came when he was lined out wide against Sidney Jones. Nate Sudfeld threw his way and the tight end made an effortless one-hand grab. Then Sudfeld hit him again for a touchdown in the middle of the end zone. Unguardable. Later in practice, Goedert got some work with the first team. Nick Foles found him on a curl despite the fact Jordan Hicks was there to contest the play. Goedert’s just too big. During 3-on-2, Goedert ran a corner route to shake off Jeremy Reaves and make a catch. Reaves really must be starving because Goedert has eaten his lunch all day long. Goedert did have one drop during 3-on-2. That’s probably like his first or second drop all offseason.
• The only player who successfully covered Goedert: Ronald Darby. Darby, who’s been having a great camp, broke up a pass for the rookie tight end right at the goal line. As the defense was celebrating the play, the Eagles offense called a hurry up and Foles hit Goedert for ANOTHER touchdown. Rodney McLeod failed to cover No. 88 that time. Goedert may not finish the season with a huge yardage total but boy is he gonna score some touchdowns.
I know it's preseason and to take all this with a grain of salt, but he was a second round pick and round 23 isn't too much of a investment to take a flyer on him.
