Ever wonder what NFL Draft talent evaluators look for when scouting tight ends? Look no further!
Adjusting the lens of evaluating tight ends as tight ends and not wide receivers. And for me, over at the Daft on Draft podcast, that has started with a scouting series with a long list of high-profile guests to break down exactly what to look for at specific positions.
So looking at this movement of heavier personnel, to me, it is the evolution of the philosophy that Sean McVeigh put into place back in, you know, what was it, 2017, 2018. And I think that that's really what we're seeing right now.
That's where that effort comes in. If you can get off the line of scrimmage with passion and pride, and you can get into that defensive end, and if you even hold him for one second, and then he stacks and sheds you to the side, you probably did your job well enough to where, if it's a run play, hopefully, you're not running to that side of the strength, if you know that that guy's going to be a liability for you. But the running back hopefully is hitting the hole at that point.
But if you were a, like you said, more NFL valuable, I use that in quotations, sort of a tight end, well, then you're going to be playing in a slot a lot. You're going to have a lot of slot defenders just staring right at you, where their only job is to just make sure that you don't get separation. Well, at that point, you have to become a better route runner.
I had Reiman ranked, I don't even remember, somewhere in the hundreds. And when they picked him in the third round, I was like, whoa, okay, I like Tip Reiman, but for you to draft him that high, to me, that's because you were saying, we have a team-specific vision for this player, and we will draft him there.
