Also, Gesicki signed with the Patriots. Gesicki is an excellent receiver, but a bad blocker. Pats have Hunter Henry to carry the TE blocking load. I expect they will use Gesicki primarily as a receiver. I expect a lot of 12 personnel from New England. Or maybe they abandon him as a TE and just use him as a slot receiver? He's got a huge catch radius and is an excellent jumper (I think he played volleyball in college).
Phins have Durham Smythe who is a far better blocking TE than Gesicki (who may be the worst blocking TE in the league) but he's not a good pass catcher. They also signed journeyman/career back-up TE nobody ever heard of named Eric Saubert.
Phins are shooting for a Super Bowl this year. This is a great draft for TEs, but the Phins have zero 2023 draft capital. Will they make a play for a quality TE, or will they hope Smythe can be productive in the passing game?
