God I hate this pick lol A lot of the times his first 5 yards is quicker off the snap than his WRs... I don't see a reason to hate this pick other than the fact he is not a elite prospect...but if he wasn't he wouldn't be here...what I would say is there is a ton to work with if he is dedicated which he seems to be.

abstract_thought Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 That tape really did nothing for me. He looks like a lumbering big guy who plays softer than his size. Even the way he catches the ball is at times pretty bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind it's because I feel like he's not only a makeup draft pick for the bust that was Adam Shaheen, but athletically I see the same large/lumbering/stiff athlete. Kmet has better speed, but his fluidity is severely lacking and looking at what Travis Kelce (Gold Standard in my mind) and Zach Ertz are asked to do in this offense, I do not think Cole Kmet can be that guy. So it double pisses me off. I think Chase Claypool was the pick to make and instead we went for the "super friendly, intelligent, team first, hard working" draft pick. I hope to God he makes me eat these words, but I see just a dude that will be nothing more than average in this offense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellen Davis style vomit (except Davis put up better athletic testing numbers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way I take Claypool over Kmet as a pure TE...and I think we are looking for a guy who can offer us something at multiple TE positions...for me I think Kmet is more agile than Shaheen...certainly has much better balance...don't see him on the ground anywhere near as much...hands are significantly better too.

Kellen Davis style vomit (except Davis put up better athletic testing numbers). Maybe "weak" is more accurate. He's getting tossed around by college LBs and even though he seeks out contact, he really doesn't seem to break tackles. Even at the catch point he doesn't dominate with his size. Everything just looks awkward/uncomfortable for him. He also very noticeably gave up on several plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a TE that can't make a block to save his life, average route-running, and struggled to separate. Made a couple of nice hand-catches, but mostly dump-off passes given up by the defense. His stat sheet on this game looks good but I'm struggling seeing the transition into the NFL. What the hell was he watching? Shea McClellin would bullrush the kid. FML. As long as he is wide open he's gold though. lol Edited April 25, 2020 by Sugashane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
