Way too many holes in that style of evaluation

But to my untrained eye, there's something that should always receive great weight in evals.

Does the player consistently make plays on film?

If he does, shouldn't that count more than measurables?

My understanding is that Engram makes a ton of plays, so he should definitely be in the conversation at #37. We are starved for O playmaking weapons and McVay knows how to best develop and scheme TE's.

Sounds like one of a dozen or so terrific players that would be great choices if they even fell to us.

Basically stat scouting. Did scheme get him open for the plays? Is defensive focus on other areas? Is it an offense where everyone is making plays? Does he make contested plays? Does he pile up plays vs lesser competition?

Almost every single player being considered as a legit draft prospect made "plays"...a lot of them.

  Skillset wise at WR he compares to Marquez North. As a Slot WR - Jordan Matthews

  So the questions still stands..

PHDram293April 09, 2017 09:02AM

  Not sure, and that's the problem for me

  Engram is a "pajama olympics" mover

  Ok, more like a rich mans Jordan Reed

Rampage2K-380April 09, 2017 08:52AM

  I'd be more inclined to keep him at TE
