Actually, the Chiefs traded up to the #13 spot to grab Gonzalez. And yes, there were a few doubters on the old Star forum but since I wasn't living in KC at the time, I didn't hear of any doubters elsewhere.
The fact of the matter is that Gonzalez went from 33 catches his rookie season, to 59 his sophomore campaign to 76 and 93 in his fourth season.
The "doubters" were clearly wrong.
I doubt that Moeaki will reach HOF status (not because he's not a good player already, but HOF is rare and unique). It's clear however that if healthy, he'll be one of the better tight ends in the NFL.
