    We’ll need the extra blocker so that Bell can get a three yard pickup.

    I don’t understand this pick.

    Foster Moreau was on the board if you wanted a TE who can block + he ran a 4.66.

    I'm guessing it was announced on NFLN before ESPN.

    ESPN sucks, by the way.

    Thanks. Unfortunately changing networks won't change the picks.

    I don’t know much about him but the ESPN guys all said teams were throwing shit in the war rooms because we just picked him lol ok

    Surprising the way they all liked him so much

    Who knows

    That’s the most mystifying thing I’ve noticed about Mac’s drafts. He takes the same exact type of players again and again, year after year... and we have an entirely different coaching staff+philosophy.

    It’s all very old school...

  13. Fwiw Kiper said a few teams wanted Wesco in 4th & Mcshay said hes the 2nd best blocking TE in draft.

    Can play FB/H Back/In line & Split out wide

    Really ? Not sure where he fits as far as draft ranking but he looks like a mauler. Will make a good tandem with Herndon if he pans out .

    The guy is not all that athletic

    Apparently Baldy is big on the guy. He's talked about him before. That at least gives me a glimmer of hope for the kid.

    McShay said him and Sample were the two best blocking tight ends and Kiper liked his versatility and sneaky athleticism...the bleacher report guys said Gase would love him as an h back to block and get mismatches

    Weird pick to me but I’ll have an open mind

    Hope you're right, but I thought it was reported as swapping both 4th and 5th rounders with them.

    Here's the analysis from NFL.com:

    Overview
    Wesco has the play strength and toughness of an NFL tight end, but he's still very raw in the passing game, which could take some time to shore up. He has a terrific demeanor as a run-blocker and the footwork to become much more consistent in sustaining blocks once he gets his hand placement corrected. Teams might view him as an early developmental prospect on the practice squad with a chance to compete for a move tight end spot in the future.
    Strengths
    • Burly upper body with a broad chest and thick arms
    • Nasty with an offensive lineman's demeanor as a block-finisher
    • Impressive play strength at point of attack
    • Gets early arm extension and peppers his opponent with stiff jabs
    • Has size and aggression to kick out linebackers and open a run lane
    • Trusted to handle pass-protection duties for star quarterback
    • Capable staying in front of edge rushers and blitzers
    • Began to come on late in the season as a pass-catcher
    • Will lay the lumber as a blocker on kick-return unit.
    Weaknesses
    • Can be frenetic and wild in the initial phase as run-blocker
    • Too much lunging and needs to bring his feet with him
    • Slows feet into move blocks, allowing opponent to wiggle away
    • Hands regularly slide out of position when run-blocking
    • Pounds the grass as a route-runner and lacks instincts in space
    • Uncovering against man coverage is a challenge
    • Slow to open and make himself available as a target
    • Awkward hand positioning as pass-catcher
    ***************************************************************************************************************************************

    If he lives up to his strengths and fixes or minimizes his weaknesses I could see this as a good pick since they do need to upgrade the OL pass and run blocking - pass receiving for him will be a bonus. (Trying to see optimism through the tears).
