Teicher: Moeaki looks good at tight end, while O’Connell struggles

[JD10367]

The Chiefs selected a tight end in each of the last two drafts — and those players appear headed in different directions.

This year’s rookie, third-round pick Tony Moeaki, is having a solid offseason. He has shown good hands, is able to get downfield well and had another big day in the afternoon practice at Saturday’s minicamp.

The Chiefs thought enough last year of Jake O’Connell that they traded back into the seventh round to get him.

What, they say?!? A 3rd-round pick looks pretty good, and a 7th-round pick doesn't?!? Wow, Adam Teicher! You get this month's "Captain ****ing Obvious" Award.

It's a 7th-round pick, fer crissake. How many 6ths and 7ths really work out? You can get a 6th or 7th draft pick by trading a team a box of jocks and some Gatorade. If and when they pan out (e.g. Tom Brady) it's more the exception than the norm.
