When you are looking for Tight Ends for this system, you want to look for three things on tape: A) Does he pass block well (technique,base? anchor?) B) can he reach block, and seal 5-7 techs. C) can he kick out 7-9 techs. Bonus: D) can he hit Cross blocks? E) can he hit whams?
@NateGearySports Tucker Kraft as well, and oddly enough, the kid McDaniel and Grier were watching today: Brenton Strange
@NateGearySports But yeah....I want them to trade #51...but if Darnell is there...I want them to run the card up there. he is clean IMO as a blocker. You can only nitpick his route running and his play making ability. I would allow his size and speed figure that part out.
@Alf_Arteaga @NateGearySports Bonus: he’d be the best RT on the roster
@Alf_Arteaga @NateGearySports My opinion, If Darnell is there run the card up. I like Laporta a lot. The best TE’s in the game all have tremendous YAC ability, and that’s something this offense needs to. I think he’d be a fantastic fit
