I think we see Mariota start to spread the ball around a lot more in the coming years. Corey Davis 1 more in the league, Dion Lewis added to the backfield, Jonnu Smith taking a leap forward in his development, hell maybe even Tajae or Taywan become something. I think Delanie is a pretty safe guy for a TE1 finish but I think he ends up on the tail end of that range rather than top5. Still possible if Mariota zero's in him like 2017 but some of these other guys will eat into that a bit guaranteed.Aunt Jemima said:What is the value of Delanie Walker?? Trying to figure out if I'm varying significantly from the consensus. As a guy for this year if I'm competing I expect him to be a top 5 TE, no reason really to not expect him to put up the best receiving numbers again unless you think he will suddenly go over the age cliff and on an up and coming Tennessee team, I realize he is getting older but I think he is a safer bet and more valuable than say a Jimmy Graham. Am I missing something? What is worth? early 2nd in TE premium for competitive teams??
Not to mention the 2017 TE class that is likely to take a big step forward. Njoku, Howard, Shaheen, Everett all have good chances to improve and could push for a top10 finish, maybe bumping Walker out. I'd value him near a late 2nd. I wouldn't take any rookies TE's ahead of him though.
