What rookie are you most excited for?

[kcgreene]

Just curious who everyone is most excited for of our drafted and undrafted rookies.


Personally, I really enjoyed what I saw out of Wiley at TCU.

Gotta go with Kingsley, considering LT has been unstable since Fisher left.

[loochy]

Worthy for sure. I'm excited to see long bombs back in the play book. And Pacheco is going to feast

Honestly, I am quite a bit eager to see how much more effective Pacheco is with Worthy AND Hollywood able to go deep...

I was not big on Fisher, but yeah, compared to what we've had since then...

I very much possibly took a stable, albeit underwhelming, bookend like him for granted.

Suamateiawhatever has a chance to plug the LT spot for however many years Patrick plays. If he pans out, this will be the steal of the draft.

Whatever one is a devout Catholic has my vote!

Honestly its Wiley. I was hyped for Kelce when he was drafted. As a former tight end (make your jokes) there's just something exciting about a plus tight end prospect.

I wasn't very draft savvy yet when we drafted Kelce, but I have been hoping for us to go get a guy the last few years, and when I was watching tape before the draft, Wiley really stuck out in my opinion. Hoping we can keep the TE as a highly contributing position.

Very much on the Wiley train as well. I also think he's the future TE1. Hopefully Kelce trains him up a bit.

Tbf, it's unlikely that Wiley will be the next Travis Kelce. And I say 'fair,' because a lot of people are going to expect that much from him because he's the heir apparent, and those are really tough shoes to fill.

When I think about it, we've been insanely lucky to have a pair of the greatest TEs in NFL history back-to-back in our lifetimes, and the odds of drafting the next all-world TE with Wiley are just infinitesimal. But I like what little I've seen of him on tape, and even if he only turns out to be an average starting TE (better than Gray) he'll still be a great get for us, simply because this offense is geared around the TE position.

Oh, I get it entirely. Some people will be let down because they'll expect another HoF TE, but if he can be a good TE and be reliable for 650 to 700 yards a year and contribute as he's needed, I'm more than happy.

Nonsense, 100% of our draft picks will be hall of famers, until proven otherwise.

Yah, that's pretty much what I'm hoping for. A solid TE1 that can give the offense a little of that security blanket element.

[Couch-Potato]

Worthy's the obvious answer, but I think Sua showing out as a stud LT would be amazing!

If Wiley shows some flashes early in the season we'll all be going crazy!
