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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]

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

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. [Reply]
