That would be great if Ebron figured it out like Gonzo did after the first two seasons. Other than that, there is no comparison between the two. It would be like comparing Ted Ginn Jr. to Jerry Rice. Guys like this are going to keep dropping passes their entire career, despite their elite athletic ability. Sure Ebron could catch 10 TDs like Ginn did this season. But he'll drop 5 more.
If as that article states, he's going around TE22, that's big time value imo. Otoh, there's basically 20 players in the third tier of TEs (after Gronk then Olsen/reed/walker/kelce), so he possibly could fall that far.
The only sense I can make of this is that people are expecting Marvin Jones to pick up most of Calvin Johnson's targets and that Ebron won't make any progress going into his 3rd season.Ilov80s said:
Can you please stop posting stats like this? It is getting in the way of my "Ebron Sucks" narrative. Thanks in advance.

the last TE I remember liking as much before they played was Greg Olsen. If you look back at Olsen's career, he started out pretty much the same way; it took Olsen three years to lock up the starting gig (he had Desmond Clark in front of him). Olsen began to break out in his 3rd year but wasn't a top TE until he left for Carolina and the offense was better tailored to his strengths. I hope EE doesn't need to move on to make his mark, Calvin retiring might be the spark needed.
EE will still get his looks but I'll expect greater inconsistency game to game with five good, but no real great receiving options. None of these guys, including tate, will take away from Ebron IF he starts performing to his potential.
I hope so. They always seem to find a way to lose somehow in the past. I hope that continues.
They never seem to be able to get the whole team on the same page. One year the offense is good and the defense is bad. The next the defense is great and the offense struggles. They kill me.
True. I was (perhaps wrongly) thinking he'd be among the few with more frequent quality games. Not Gronk or Olsen but "start with (some) confidence" level.
I think he sees something close to 95 targets, catches 63 balls for 760 yards and 7 TDs. That makes him a bottom half TE1 and a weekly starter. Not a guy thats going to be a difference maker on your team, but at his ADP, it's a nice play. A guy that can deliver Travis Kelce like numbers 5-7 rounds later.
Who do you see as late TEs with higher ceilings? I usually find myself going Ebron or Allen late. Mixed on the result.
TEs with an ADP higher than #10 that I have higher ceilings for include: Sefarian Jenkins, Dwayne Allen, Cameron, Thomas
Yes Pettigrew is a much better blocker and on a team with OL problems this is a solid point.
I'd add Graham and Bennett if we're just talking ceiling. But I have EE in the 3rd tier along with ASJ, Thomas, Green and Fleener.
I like his value this year, but don't have an enormous ceiling for him...that offense could struggle.
