The Tight End position needs an overhaul

Mulligan is one of the best run blocking TEs in the league. He commits too many penalties and is a poor pass blocker.

Keller is an adequate pass blocker but a poor run blocker. There are only about 10 good run blocking TEs in the league and only two are in the top 20 in receiving, Gronkowski and Todd Heap. Gronkowski is a poor pass blocker, Keller grades out better.

Keller is paid to produce in the passing game and to force Defenses to account for him.

No one in the league has a TE that is a top run blocker, pass blocker and stretches the field. Gronkowski this year is the closest but he also has Tom Brady throwing to him.

If we need to over haul the TE position, it is because we have more talent in Keller than we can capitalize on and we should trade him to address other problem positions. I think that is a mistake unless you are moving on past Sanchez. I don't like Sanchez's chances without Keller or a threat like him.

Witten is also a solid run blocker.

Lets see Gronk averages 14.4 yards per reception, Keller averages 14.4 yards per reception....Gronk does have the advantage on TD's 11 to 4 but then again he's got Brady throwing to him instead of Sanchez.

Give Brady Keller and Kellers numbers would blow Gronk away.

this is a great comparison, you can not fault Keller due to Mark and Schitty...
