You are saying a Chiefs TE isn't going to be asked to block? Why are our #1 and 2 TE's just conveniently as highly regarded for their blocking as they are their receiving?

The running game is a BIG part of this offenses game, blocking is huge. Especially with as much as our TE's stay in to block on passing plays. Hopefully Winston will allow us to buck that trend, but it's not a coincidence that Richardson, stat wise, looked like he might be able to make it at RT. He had Tony Moeaki helping him the majority of the time.

The reason Rucker hasn't made it is b/c he doesn't bring anything as a blocker and is only adequate as a receiver thus far. While guys like Pope, Jake O'Connell, Steve Maneri, Scott Chandler, Tom Crabtree hang around in the league. They might not be great receiving TE's, but they have a nice balance to their game that makes them valuable.

How great of a blocker is Jimmy Graham? Or Hernandez?

I haven't seen Rucker, so I can't compare, but both Graham and Hernadez are passable blockers.

They would not be voted all pro for their blocking, but they get the job done well enough, and Graham has improved.

When they're asked to block.

Which is somewhere south of "hardly ever."

Rucker's an obvious candidate for the practice squad. Work on his blocking, see if he can be developed.

Solid emergency option if he can.
