indifference Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hope this Cade Otton kid can run block as good as advertised. We missed Gronk’s blocking when we had to start Brate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed Gronk’s blocking when we had to start Brate. That's an excellent point. I mentioned in the off-season thread that I think Brate will cover most of Gronks pass game production, but no one on roster is going to block like Gronk did. Maybe that Ko Kieft kid can carve out a role there if he makes the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgarrett12486 Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 Wouldn't shock me to see us bring in a guy like Kyle Rudolph or Eric Ebron for the vet minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Lefty can throw teams off and incorporate some pass plays when he checks in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingone Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Kieft is definitely making the 53 man roster now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he was honestly. It was McElroy that would've been a longshot. Honestly, I think they said even college blocking TE's tend to struggle blocking at the next level year 1. Tough to rely on a rookie out the gate, let alone 2 to cover. Kieft's biggest strength is a blocking TE. He'll be utilized and make the team but surely will have his struggles.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Bucs and Vikings have expressed interest in free agent Kyle Rudolph. "The Bucs have been involved, I'm told, and a reunion with the Vikings is not off the table," were Fowler's exact words. "This situation should crystallize some time before camps open."

I wonder if the Bucs will wait until the pads come on to see where their TE's are as blockers. But this makes sense. I think Brate/Otton/Kieft are locks to make the team. McEllroy is the bubble player. If he doesn't show he's a quality TE that can play snaps in the regular season as a second or third TE while the rookies get their feet wet - they;ll make a move for a vet.
