either 1st choice Andrews or 2nd choice Geseki? Andrews has produced every year in college...especially in the end zone where he can use that big frame. I'm not really worried about their blocking...I don't think Jordan Reed could block sunlight!
I assume they will go by round 2. If we were in round three, and either of them were there, I would be jumping up and down. However, I do believe we will have to make a move.

Here's how one team source broke down Gesicki, "Gesicki is Coby Fleener. Tall, lean, probably will run fast; horrendous blocker - even [versus] defensive backs. He's got some high-point ability, but I have seen him drop his share of contact catches and contested catches too. I don't feel he's as a strong as he could be."
7/17/17: Gesicki turned in an impressive 2016 season with 48 receptions for 679 yards and five touchdowns. It was a huge increase in production over his sophomore and freshman years, when he was a backup.
