New TE... Old one was broken
 

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profil...lce?id=2540258

OVERVIEW
In high school, Kelce was a three sport star, but his best sport was always football. He was a three-year letter winner at quarterback, and earned All-Lake Erie League honors after totaling 2,539 yards of total offense and 31 total touchdowns as a senior. Kelce’s uncle Don Blalock played football at Purdue and grandfather Don Blalock played football at Ohio. Travis is the younger brother of former Cincinnati Bearcats and current Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.


In his first year on campus, Travis redshirted. In his redshirt freshman year, Kelce participated in 11 games as the tight end. He caught one pass for three yards. Kelce also played some quarterback, strictly in a Wildcat role. He logged eight carries for 47 yards and two touchdowns. Kelce did not play in 2010, as he was suspended for a violation of team rules. Upon his return in 2011, Kelce caught 13 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. In his senior season, Kelce put himself on the NFL prospect map, as he caught 45 passes for 722 yards and eight touchdowns. He was selected to the All-Big East first team for his play.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Kelce has an ideal tight end frame. Athletic for his size, with great strength, and the ability to stretch the field vertically. Very physical run blocker, generates power from the lower half, and will move defenders off the ball. Plays with leverage. Wide catching radius, can adjust and make the difficult catch. Tough to bring down after the catch. Light feet, and has lined up in numerous different positions.
WEAKNESSES Suspended for an entire season for violating team rules. Only one season of production. Doesn't have blazing speed. Not a tremendously explosive athlete. Doesn't come out of his breaks all that well.
NFL COMPARISON Rob Gronkowski
BOTTOM LINE Kelce has been a tremendous run blocker throughout his career for the Bearcats, but really elevated his game as a receiver in his senior season. He isn't a tremendous athlete, but he does a lot of things very well. It's a deep tight end class, but Kelce's play suggests that he should be highly sought after.

New Chief TE Travis Kelce
 

Anybody know anything bout him ?

**** this team

**** this draft.



Bring on the ****ing banners SOC

Solid player. Good receiver and blocker as well. Played all over the line, split out wide, H-back.

I don't.. I mean... why?

Andy Reid drafted his brother a year or two ago. Is currently the starting center for the Eagles.

He's got good bloodlines. He's talented.

He's just not Matt Barkley. Which I hate.

who gives a shit

Holes at DT, OG, ILB and Dorsey drafts a 3rd string TE. Wonderful.

Cause we have no TE's worth a ****?

Kelce will almost certainly start soon.

nobody cares

Daniel Jeremiah

@MoveTheSticks: Kelce is a stud! He will be great for the KC running game. He can collapse his side of the line. Best blocking TE in the draft. #Chiefs

Never heard of it.

And we still don't.

Stupid ****ing team.

We just signed Anthony Fasano this off season. We have Moeaki. Those are both guys that average 400-600 yards a season.

And we spend the first pick of the 3rd round on another one? Sad.

He is compared to Gronk. No...we couldn't use a guy like that.

@TJCarpenterWHB: Travis Kelce - most scouts compare him to Rob Gronkowski.

I'm going to Las Vegas.

Walking into Rick's pawn shop.

And getting ****ed up the ass on national TV, selling my official Pro Football HOF football signed by Len Dawson for $10.

i dont know man

TE <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ILB, OG, DT

apparently the same people that thought Geno was worth of 1.1 also think this pick is bad

i just feel sad

http://draftbreakdown.com/players/travis-kelce

Great pick!!!!!

Compare him to Gronk's off-field habits maybe.

Everyone should know by now we are trying to build the team around the TE position.

Yeah like Moeaki is reliable!!

How bad do you have to **** up to be suspended for a season?

I hope both of his ACL's burst.

The shit ****ery at QB. Matt Barkley available. Third round.

We take this ****stick at TE.

You think this is good? Really?

Andy's Philly scouts had this guy pegged last year

he was rehabbing/getting surgery on a sports hernia in Philly

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-travis-kelce/

played injured all last year, most scouts project him as a STARTING NFL TE. (what does that say about Tony Moeaki/Anthony Fasano.) We can run two TE sets, but 3 is useless. Who is the odd man out?

WEAKNESSES Suspended for an entire season for violating team rules. Only one season of production. Doesn't have blazing speed. Not a tremendously explosive athlete. Doesn't come out of his breaks all that well.





Great well that is nice.

Moeaki is gone.

He's a functioning alcoholic, so about that bad.

I have decided drafting BPA is stupid.

I like it, I mean look at his 2012 season, 45 catches for 722 and 9 td's. with 83 and 78 yard td's. Could be a nice strong, TE.

Yeah, but Andy used to coach his big brother. Nepotism...

Does this place have a reaction to anything the Chiefs do anymore other than "OMG WHY ARE THEY THE STUPIDEST FRANCHISE EVAR??///1/1????"

I think TE has been a sore spot for us since TG left and this league is lovin' them some TE's.

Like it or not, we aren't drafting a QB.

Neither Fisher or Kelce were bad picks.

But they weren't investments at the most important position.

By the time we make one, one of the best prospects in this draft (Barkley) will be off the board.

I full expect the Chiefs to invest in Tyler Wilson in the next two picks, however.

is it not valid to say that?

Nope. We passed on Geno at 1.1 so expect every pick to be the worst pick ever...

Easy, Toby.

We passed on a good QB in the third round. That's assinine.

Lot of dumbfucks on this board now... Their brains are fried from the last 5+ years! Never happy, just b*tch!!!

don't worry guys, we'll get Landry Jones in the 4th for sure!

I think we pick one in the 4th/5th

Can you tell us why drafting a blocking TE is a good move with the first pick of the 3rd? I'm all ears.

Apparently not. If the pick wasn't a QB then it was going to be a bad pick in the opinion of most here.


Some would rather draft a QB to sit the bench the next few years than a TE that will most likely play a lot this year.

It's old. It's tired. It's not insightful. And no, it's certainly not a given by anyone outside this place that it's valid.

and he did that injured the whole year.

he is evaluated and projected as a starting TE. It's just the logic of Fasano and Moeaki. One of them is dead in the water because this guy is taking a guaranteed roster spot/starting position no matter if you like the pick or not.

The irony of just a couple years ago TRADING UP for Tony Moeaki and then cutting him/3rd string. That's why this team is bad.

Most Chiefs fans would of been thrilled with a back up punter. One can only take losing for so many years before they completely lose it.

If we are going to take a chance on a risky player why not just pick Tyron Mathieu?

Can you defend taking a 2nd/3rd string TE with a top 100 pick with huuuuuuuuuge holes elsewhere on the roster?

Seems like a good player. Surprising pick, but at least he's talented as ****.

WHOOO RICKY STANZI!!!!

Last 30 years.

Anybody know what kind of numbers Kelce put up last season?

haven't won a playoff game since 1993.

Well, we may late but QB is definitely not a hole that needs to be filled at the moment.

1st 3 rounds . A starting OT , a starting QB and a starting TE.

Solid work by our management.


**** you all !

Some of you are beyond stupid. At this point if you don't realize that Alex Smith is Reid's guy then just stop caring. You have him and Chase Daniel, like them or not, that are your #1 and #2 QB. You are not going to draft a #3 QB with the first pick in the 3rd round.

Jesus Christ you draft a (potential starting) QB this year people are idiots.

Not happening under this regime - DO YA GET IT YET???

A 3rd QB later in the draft is the best you can hope for.

WR/DE next pick. Maybe another Lineman. Then you can have AZ QB or Duke QB that you can dream of starting for the next 4 years.

I suspect making the playoffs consistently and making the SB once a decade or so might change that. Until then don't count on it.

From his rating and what I've heard he is a probable starter. They're comparing him to Gronkowski.

Only a few people have mentioned QB.

Would you rather take a chance on a blocking TE or on a linebacker that can play next to DJ? Or hell, even a runningback to spell Charles.

We have holes at Guard and Defensive Tackle?

What the hell are Geoff Schwartz, Jeff Allen, Jon Asamoah, and Dontari Poe then?

Uhh, the guy can catch the ball a wee bit too it just so happens he's a pretty good blocker as well.

Yeah. I'm iffy. Really wanted Geno in round 1.thought Barkley was a no Brainer at 3. At this point, if a safe QB drops this low, that concerns me. At this point, I want the project guy, which is dysert.

THIS..Your choice to be a fan..:D:D:D

I don't hate the pick. They aren't taking Barkley. They obviously don't like him. I don't think Fasano or Moeaki = TE covered. I'll be surprised if Moeaki plays 8 games this year.

I would have tyler bray.

Argh why is everyone so mean to this team just because they haven't won a playoff game in 20 years??!?!?

OMG THE CHIEFS ARE SO STUPID FOR TRYING TO WIN NOW WITH ALEX SMITH!!!

(Chiefs take the best player available)

OMG THE CHIEFS ARE SO STUPID FOR NOT DRAFTING TO FILL AN IMMEDIATE NEED!!!

My issue is that ChiefsPlanet's value as a source for good Chiefs news and discussion is rapidly falling. It's nothing but bitching and unsubstantiated posturing anymore.

Anyway, carry on with the bitching. People seem to love it I guess.

And if I could shave 20 strokes off my golf game I could be on the Hooters tour.

At this point I am trusting Dorsey and the "BPA" strategy. Until I see it not prove out we have no reason to doubt the people running this draft right now.

Compared to Gronk. Good reciever/blocker.....CP acts like he's Jason Dunn. You can't make this up.

YOU WANT MATT BARKLEY?!? You are a ****ing idiot! The kid blows shit. He's Sanchez x2 with a hint of Cassel in him. This TE is gonna help us in the run gsme, while the other 2 are passing.

That's classy.

Tyler Bray is the most worthless, sack of sh*T QB I have seen. My god he sucks, and I can't believe how much you guys like him. Have you seen any of his games? Constantly melts down, throws picks at the absolute WORST times, can't lead his team back. Tennessee has turned into shambles because of QB's like him leading the way.

Agreed.

It's possible that a lengthy track record of consistent stupidity has led to this being a common reaction.

Again. Holes at everywhere but QB, WR, HB, TE, OT and OLB.

Amen Hog Farmer!
