Kelce ran a 4.64 and has a good catch radius. Reid is obviously going to use this guy at receiver sometimes. His senior year he proved he could be a good receiver. He's a vertical threat. Hell it's no coincidence that they compared him to Gronk.

I wouldn't use a first on a TE unless Kelce's knee is ****ed. We're fairly deep and have a good young capable guy.
I think the D is FAR more pressing, as in a mother****ing pass rusher

There's more to playing football than running fast. Especially at TE.

Furthermore, we need somebody that can be used as a receiver ALL THE TIME. Kelce isn't a guy that's going to dictate a defensive game plan. In today's NFL, you need guys like that.

And being called a "poor man's Gronk" isn't really all that flattering if you actually think about it.

Aren't you tired of our players being a "poor man's" version of some other teams stars?

We aren't deep at all. Fasano is utterly broken, McGrath is a nice story and that's about it, and that good, young capable guy has yet to see the field and has suffered a very, very serious injury.

[htismaqe]

And yes, this team needs defensive help. If a good pass rushing prospect is there, take him.

But don't just draft some guy because it's potentially a bigger need than TE. That's how you end up with guys like Sylvester Morris and Junior Siavi.

I sure would, if Kelce flops again, and that's distinctly possible with micro fractures... we're stuck with Fasano, McGrath and maybe some retread vet.

As much as Smith likes to utilize TE's, its a must to make sure that position is dynamic IMO.

[RunKC]

Idk if I would call Fasano broken. He only missed 4 games in his 7 years before this year.

I would rather see us finally get a real DE, a valuable pass rusher or elite WR and draft a TE later in the draft. This team needs an influx of d talent bad

Jermichael Finley - TE - Packers
The Boston Globe reports free agent Jermichael Finley is drawing interest from the Jets, Chiefs, Seahawks, Giants, and Steelers.
We're not remotely disputing the report, but it certainly sounds like it came directly from the mouth of Finley's agent. Finley has not been medically cleared to play football after last year's spinal fusion surgery. He does hope to receive clearance by early next week. If Finley gets the green light, he should be seeking one-year, "prove-it" deals. He's still only 27 years old.
Related: Giants, Jets, Chiefs, Steelers, Seahawks

Hmmm

I was actually referring to Kelce' injury, micro fractures are tricky.

As for Fasano, he's not anywhere near dynamic even when healthy (8.1ypc in2012)... and last year wasn't a good omen for him healthwise, either. Even at his best he's JAG.

We need a paradigm shifter at TE and right now there is no one proven able to do that, but if we get one you can bet Smith will utilize that guy relentlessly.

- We actually aren't deep at all. Kelce is unproven at the NFL level, Fasano looks broken, and McGrath played okay last year, but come on. We need a difference maker at TE. Amaro has ALL the tools you'd want to be that guy.

He was never a great TE before all the injuries.

This team has already invested heavily on the defense. How many more picks are we going to throw away vs. coaching the guys we already have?

If a guy like Dee Ford is there, sure he has to be in consideration. But I'm not taking Hageman or Donald and HOPING they can give you what you need.

[htismaqe]

I'd take Finley on a 1-year deal.

See, I see him more in the 35-40 catch range and 4-5 TDs. Dependable, not dynamic.

If we can get that from him next year and he can stay healthy, his future in KC will be bright because he will go into 2015 confident in that knee.

If Ebron is still on the board in the teens, id be calling with a pick from next year to move up.

Maybe even something like this and next years firsts for an earlier first and second this year...that would be sweet.

I don't want to trade anything to get Ebron when we could sit tight (or even trade down) and get Amaro or ASJ.

No thanks.

This team has had enough broken tight ends.

I think Ebron has a chance to be an elite player. His size speed combo mixed with his game is gonna be special.

Plus, next years draft is gonna be light because of all the underclassmen in this class.

A mid second this year > a late first next year.
