But then these guys are moving all over the place.
You can't count on where they're going to be lined up because they do have that versatility and the alignment flexibility.
So I think this is one of those smart picks.
And we saw a lot of teams do that.
The Rams have six tight ends on their roster right now.
Teams are going to be loading up at the tight end position.
We saw it throughout this draft.
If you don't believe that there's value in having two and three tight ends, go look at how the rest of the NFL drafted over the past three days.
I'll tell you, teams believe that they're going to be running two tight ends the majority of the time and three tight ends a good amount of the time.
Right, exactly.
You know how in fantasy football you've got your quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, then you have the flex positions?
We have to start thinking about guys like Colston Loveland, Sam Laporta.
They're a flex player.
They're not going to line up next to the right tackle in a three-point stance and then go block someone.
They are being moved all across the offense.
And I think sometimes we get so rigid in our thinking about, you have to have a tight end, you have to have a tight end.
Yeah, exactly.
You do.
You have to have 11 players out on the field and you need someone that can help block in the run game.
It could be a size mismatch, but it's moving the players around.
