Evan Engram, think he could play wideout, not to stretch the field but as a compliment to Odell? You hear most analyst saying he's a wideout disguised as a tight end. He clearly has the speed and height. His weight I'm sure effects his quickness but I think he could be a solid player in the right situation. http://www.nfl.com/videos/simulcam/0ap3000000790107/Simulcam-Engram-vs-Hopkins-vs-Green Making that transition is not very simple, though. He does have the measurable, yes, but one thing I think people tend to overlook is that it makes a difference having grown up playing the game facing physical CBs regularly. At TE, he almost never sees those players directly across from him. Playing WR is not at all just about running and catching, it's also significantly about winning the hands battle at the line of scrimmage, breaking clean in and out of routes, selling routes on the perimeter, the list goes on. It's part of the reason why I'm not a fan of position switches almost ever in mocks. There's a reason it happens as rarely as it does in real life. Plus Engram is already an above average TE.

If so then sure I could see Eifert/Graham at TE and Engram/Odell out wide and Shepard in the slot. If you don't have that stud TE though, I think Engram moving is not an upgrade. As it stands Rhett Ellison. Definitely something to think about as upgrading TE would be much cheaper but fewer number of talent at that position. I'm good with him at TE but when I watch his tape, I see a bulky wideout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleMugen Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Giants did a great job unloading Apple to the Browns for a 3rd round pick (the top one, at that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but with the giants and all the injuries at receiver, he's played wide, slot, and inside already. Guy lines up everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, I was just waiting haven't heard from him, figured I'd just try to start some trade talks... If it doesn't happen then guess I'll continue to AGM with you My bad for maybe being premature, just figured if I was starting late might as well not waste the whole day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure you want to limit him to one spot though, call him whatever but he should be lining up in multiple spots to create mismatches. Just upgrade the #2 spot and use him as a flex on offense similar to Kelce in KC, I think he had that type of skill set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
