Bullshit. Moeaki has had problems holding onto the ball, when he was able to get onto the field.
He's not ideal size, being 6'3" and 245 lbs., and he's not even close to being the receiving threat that Pitta is.
Go watch the highlights. Pitta gets off the line faster than any tight end in this draft, runs text book routes, has fantastic hands and routinely makes circus catches. He's also like a halfback in the open field. He's been consistently the best tight end in college over the past three seasons. And he's got legit size (6'5", 250 lbs.). Durable, Team captain of BYU. IMO, the best tight end in this draft and has the potential to be an All Pro from the get go in the right system. The all time yardage reception leader for the position.
Hernandez is a pure receiving threat tight end that opened up the Florida offense this past season. A lot of speed and can turn the corner quick and head up field like a freight train. Excelled in a system that doesn't really feature tight ends. He won the Mackey Award and was 2nd team AA (to Pitta's first team AA).
McCoy is a dual threat tight end that was nearly identical to last years #1 TE pick Brandon Pettigrew. Huge and fast, with an ability to also hold the point of attack better than any other tight end in this draft. However, he's an idiot that decided to fire up a nickel bag right before the combine. Piss poor decision making skills. If he gets it together, he could be the next Alge Crumpler.
Graham is the TE with the biggest question marks in this draft. Played only sparingly for a single year and was a former basketball player at Miami. Ideal size with very limited on field experience. All the talent in the world from a physical perspective, but no one really knows what he will be able to do on the field. Huge boom/bust type of player.
Moeaki was the #1 TE prospect as a prep but never was able to live up to the hype due to injuries throughout his college career. He's strong, but not ideal sized. He's got good speed, but has had issues with drops. With Moeaki, it's a case of what could have been versus what was.
If it was my pick, it's easily Dennis Pitta.
