I’m honestly asking...

How is his game different than Nick Vannett’s? Wasn’t Vannett more known as a blocking TE out of OSU? It will be interesting to see the offensive role our TE’s play this year with the change in personnel.

I still have faith but pass blocking tight ends should not be drafted. It's hard to believe that you wouldn't take a flyer on somebody else with a little high ceiling.

He didn't pass block that much at UW. Strong, pretty good run blocker, but needs work on footwork and hand placement.

According to PFF he blocked on 78 passing plays and didn't allow a single pressure, a 100% blocking efficiency grade.

They prioritized run blocking in a TE, which is a reversal from what we saw over the last few seasons under Bevell.

Surprised it was that much. Thanks for the info!

Needs a lot of work in technique and route running. But his ceiling is higher than guys like Vannett or Dickson.
Dickson, yes. Vannett, no.

Vannett's not nearly as strong.
True, but Vannett is a strong pass catcher who can run. I won't be surprised if Vannett is the starter and Dickson and Dissly compete for the blocking role. Dickson was a bad signing.

Dickson has the athleticism to make plays downfield. Solid pass protector, too. Run blocking isn't very impressive, though, which explains this pick. Dissly is going to be a lot more physical than Dickson or Vannett.

Just because he's a Husky............right?

Maybe it's the 3 career TDs? While a strong blocker, I would think hes a guy we could have gotten later.

I love this pick. I wanted either Dissly or Smythe or Schultz.

The Hawks can now run 2- and 3-TE sets with confidence of moving forward.

Just draft your highest ranked OLmen and maybe we don't need a blocking TE.

Many of you did not like Graham because he was not a good blocking TE so we let him go and pick the best in the draft at exactly that, and now you want an athletic pass catching type instead..??

This. It's almost as if some haven't watched this team the past couple of seasons.

Nobody is saying they don't want a blocking TE were just saying you can find one in the 7th round or udfa or go sign Brent Celek to a league minimum deal.

So far we've added a rough-and-tumble RB, a fresh pass rusher, and a blocking TE. Imagine their names are Marshawn Lynch, Michael Bennett, and Zach Miller and ask again how we're drafting. I think we're doing just fine.

Can I request to have my user name changed? I don't want to be confused with this other Nate the Great guy and his outlandish thoughts which I in no way agree with.

I tried that with Ifedi as Walter Jones but it didn't work.

No, because it’s Will freakin dissly. There are a few huskies I would have been really happy if we drafted.

There will be about 30 good blocking tight ends that sign with teams as Undrafted free agents.
