Noah apparently ran a 4:55 40 yard dash...Travis ran 4:61 and Kittle ran 4:52 so along with his agility and wiggle Noah could be very decent in space after the catch. And learning routes from Trav is gonna be great for the kid. Honestly he could be very special if things go his way imo.

Man rookie Travis looked faster than that in preseason, but it was preseason.

Yep, Kelce will help him grow into the TE2 position. These guys are going to dominate.

I mean, ya gotta think he’s going to be better than Keizer, RSJ, Yelder, Dumbasstrius, McGrath, etc…

That alone is a win. He doesn’t even need to be good so much as he needs to be not bad, and better than average is a bonus. If he’s good, well, oh okay then, goddamn.

One of my all-time favorite Chiefs. Easily top 5.

As durable as he's been, any player is one play away from a season-ending injury. Having that much riding on one player - other than QB obviously - is a recipe for disaster. I said before the draft that we really needed to get someone who can step in if God forbid something happens to Kelce. Watched a lot of tape on the top and mid tier TEs but totally missed Gray. You never know how it will translate to the NFL, but Gray's tape compares more than adequately with any of the guys I looked into. Probably why Veach is our GM and not me.

Kelce is so damn good he makes Tony Gonzales look pedestrian.

Those first three guys are one thing, but Dumbasstrius and McGrath at least reached bare minimum in terms of having actual NFL careers and who weren't albatrosses when they had to play offensive snaps.

I'm as excited for Grey as anybody, but he could just as easily be James O'Shaughnessy as he could be a decent Kelce counterpart.

No, I highly doubt he'll be as bad as Keizer, but he's a midround pick, just like O'Shaughnessy was. Does a lot of the same stuff he did, too. I'm not gonna crown his ass just yet, and by "crown his ass" I mean just sticking around on the active roster for more than two years, playing decent special teams, and not fucking up when his number gets called.

Shags actually managed to put together a fairly respectable 7 year career, if Gray can do that its all win

Absolutely.

Just... he was kind of worthless for us. Granted, we're the ones who cut him, but we cut him because there were other players we wanted to keep on the team. Hopefully Gray is better than Shags.

Gray is almost certainly the more dynamic athlete, no worries there

His highlights really do show a smooth route runner with good feel for finding holes in zone coverage

Not many JDs left in todays NFL, extra linemen with limited versatility are now dinosaurs

It probably doesn't get mentioned enough with the Shields/Roaf line that we also had the best blocking TE and a top 2 fullback.

Gray looks the part but his numbers at Duke were a joke. Hopefully that’s because Duke doesn’t know how to use TE’s.

I’d think that description would fit all are tight ends not named Travis or Tony
