Absolutely.
With all the freaking monster front 7 D players in our division we need a TE who can block.
Hope you are correct

I like the Niklaus pick. A 270 lb TE that can block will help the run game a lot.

Niklas played OLB and DE before playing TE. We're covered at three positions.

Apparently Keim and Arians are working very closely which is a good sign. I don't love drafting in-line blockers at TE high and I'm not sure he ever becomes a top TE in the league, but he fits the division and makes sense vs the strong defensive lines in our division.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
A 2nd rounder for a blocking TE?
It sounds like he can block but won't do much else. 3rd in receptions on Notre Dame? Not what I would call a downfield threat.
Yeah, I kind of scratch my head at us taking a blocking TE in the 2nd round. I'm not hating the pick because I don't know enough yet, but I am scratching my head here.

A slightly above average or better TE would be great.
Good to see him representing the Cardinals. Truly a great person.

Not just a blocking TE, he can catch the ball.
Know your division and what you need to do to compete in it.

He'll need to work on his all around game, but they drafted the right guy here, imo. His work ethic is great.

Niners..... They can have em. lol
Only one of em holds the ball during the game. The others are watching from the bench.

just click his name and follow the bouncing ball to profile and then user lists or something
LIAC is alright though, he just doesnt like the pick.
Mayock said he runs good short and intermediate routes, but not fast enough to run deep routes. Looks like he has pretty good hands in the highlights.

2014 RND Reaching. Needs.Draft.
That's one way to put it.
very good blocking TE. bolsters run game, pass game. helps fight off the 3 beast lines in our division
