Prospects Comments
NFL - If you are looking for a tight end who can line up and help in the running game, he's not your guy. However, if you want a pass-catcher who can get open and has the ball skills to win against linebackers and safeties, he might be your guy. Gesicki needs to improve his play strength and his issues as a blocker could limit the amount of teams who will target him, but he has a chance to become one of the better pass catching tight ends in the league.
CBS - Smooth athlete. Not super explosive but isn't clunky in his movements. Strong hands. Has impressive leaping ability and body control. Above-average in contested-catch situations. Good, not great speed. Decent after the catch. Useful albeit unspectacular pass-catching TE.
DLF - ROOKIE DRAFT ADVICE His current ADP places him as a mid-second rounder, which feels like a value. The short answer is I’d take Gesicki over Nyheim Hines, Dante Pettis, and Michael Gallup, who are all going right around him. As all this pertains to Gesicki specifically, we have a bit of a different situation than what I presented above. His opportunity is so clear, and his cost so reasonable compared to many other years, your best bet is to snag him now and watch him appreciate. It’s the perfect storm and has created a much better value proposition than any aforementioned rookie tight end represented last year. Even if you aren’t a Gesicki fan, he is probably the best, safest way to profit on a second round pick in this year’s draft.
