New TE... Old one was broken
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profil...lce?id=2540258
OVERVIEW In high school, Kelce was a three sport star, but his best sport was always football. He was a three-year letter winner at quarterback, and earned All-Lake Erie League honors after totaling 2,539 yards of total offense and 31 total touchdowns as a senior. Kelce’s uncle Don Blalock played football at Purdue and grandfather Don Blalock played football at Ohio. Travis is the younger brother of former Cincinnati Bearcats and current Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. In his first year on campus, Travis redshirted. In his redshirt freshman year, Kelce participated in 11 games as the tight end. He caught one pass for three yards. Kelce also played some quarterback, strictly in a Wildcat role. He logged eight carries for 47 yards and two touchdowns. Kelce did not play in 2010, as he was suspended for a violation of team rules. Upon his return in 2011, Kelce caught 13 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. In his senior season, Kelce put himself on the NFL prospect map, as he caught 45 passes for 722 yards and eight touchdowns. He was selected to the All-Big East first team for his play. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Kelce has an ideal tight end frame. Athletic for his size, with great strength, and the ability to stretch the field vertically. Very physical run blocker, generates power from the lower half, and will move defenders off the ball. Plays with leverage. Wide catching radius, can adjust and make the difficult catch. Tough to bring down after the catch. Light feet, and has lined up in numerous different positions. WEAKNESSES Suspended for an entire season for violating team rules. Only one season of production. Doesn't have blazing speed. Not a tremendously explosive athlete. Doesn't come out of his breaks all that well. NFL COMPARISON Rob Gronkowski BOTTOM LINE Kelce has been a tremendous run blocker throughout his career for the Bearcats, but really elevated his game as a receiver in his senior season. He isn't a tremendous athlete, but he does a lot of things very well. It's a deep tight end class, but Kelce's play suggests that he should be highly sought after. |

Wow, that would be a career year for him.
Insane that he's been able to do that on the biggest stage. |

Sounds like you don't know what the **** you are talking about when it comes to evaluating football players. The "one player" out of the draft is the best to ever play the position, and you were crapping on the pic. Shut the **** up and let the pros draft.

Let's not get bump happy here.
Every one of us has had a bad take or three. Dredging stuff like this up proves nothing other than some people just can't let things go. |

For sure. The only people who don't have shitty takes on this board occasionally are the people afraid to throw an opinion out there.

We were coming off a 2-14 season and arguably one of the worst decades of Chiefs football. This board was beaten the **** down

I wasn’t bumping for bad takes, just seemed like a good place for the tweet. This thread saw action less than 2 weeks ago.

This is very true. I will say that threads like this go to show how wrong some can be when evaluating picks as they are made. I don’t believe this particular thread is any different than almost any other you will read here or on other boards. In some ways it’s like looking at old high school yearbook photos and laughing about how you looked and wondering what you were thinking.
