Too bad he can't play like his Dad.
. I didn't think we needed more TE's...
Housler-can't block a lick, inconsistent hands, has potential
King-old, slow as a turtle with one leg, does he have any gas in the tank?
Dray-doesn't do anything well IMO. Wiz is gone, so well Dray shortly
Jefferson-a blocker, hasn't really done anything catching passes, might have some talent but how much?
Give that all-pro list of TEs I think we need some, however Shuler probably is getting by on Daddy's name

King is only 30....this will be his 8th season. If that's old, then Fitz should be in a wheelchair.

We are truly eating out of the Dumpster out back of the NFL office when it comes to TEs.
Three tight ends were drafted after Ryan Swope with the 174th overall pick in the 2013 draft:
Mychal Rivera (Tennessee)
Ryan Griffin (UConn)
Michael Williams (Alabama)
Shuler can block as it was a requirement in the old PSU offense. Not a bad pass catcher either. Don't understand why so many are down on him. As TEs go, he is probably better than half the TEs in camp.
I was looking at this as well when I posted in the Swope retires thread. Mychal Rivera is essentially a big WR who can't block. He would be redundant with Housler on the team.
The other two timed near 5.0 in the 40 yd dash. Both were reported to be good blockers with Williams being very good when he wants to.
It seems to me that D C Jefferson has more upside than any of these with the biggest concern being his lack of improvement during his college career.
Based on our current TE situation I would have preferred Williams or Griffin over the Swope pick but this is truly Monday morning QBing.
The guy has been on six teams in three years. Has caught two passes in his NFL career. Hard to get excited about him.
Is this based on anything more than hope and friendly press releases from Hardy Drive? Because Jefferson was listed as a likely undrafted free agent.
