2023 3rd Round Pick #78 TE Tucker Kraft

[King Friday]

But the great ones have a feel for coverages and how to adjust their routes and releases and just have that savvy. Who knows. But he’s got it physically.

I agree with this. This kid had everything needed to be a successful in line TE in the NFL from a size and athletic standpoint. He’s just going to take awhile to get there IMO and I fear we are going to be playing some very green TEs this season. Hope both are quick learners.

I looked at Kelce, Kittle and Grahams careers. They broke out in year 2 and had crummy rookie years. So year 2 looks like best case.

Kittle had over 500 yards receiving his rookie year. I'd hardly call that crummy.

Graham is kind of an odd duck. He played basketball in college. He only played one year of football at Miami and had 17 receptions. It was going to take him time.

Kelce only played one game his rookie year before being put on IR.

If we can get about 350-450 yards receiving from each of these guys in year 1, that will be a good start. TEs generally take longer to develop, but there's nobody in front of these guys, so I'd expect a bit better production than normal. The Packers are going to have to live with their rookie mistakes--because there are no other options.
