    Default tony moeaki

    do you like him as our third rounder. almost evry draft expert has him as the best blocking tight end in the draft.and from the clips i have seen he looks like he will be a good receiving te when needed.i am excited to add a good blocking te it will make the o-line better i did not like the pick at first but it is growing on me

    Moeaki's had his share of injuries, however they have largely been freak accidents. A broken hand and foot scare me a lot less than the knee issues you see in a lot of other prospects. Watch the orange bowl footage Moeaki absolutely owns Georgia Teach DE (and first rounder) Derrick Morgan, he's the most well rounded tight end in the draft. Awesome blocker and has soft hands. The Tony G. comparisons aren't that far off, To-Mo's definitly got the potential. Kirk Ferentz's has called him the best tight end he's ever coached, that's pretty high praise (Dallas Clark, Brandon Meyers, Scott Chandler were all Ferentz TE's).

    If Tony can manage to stay healthy, I fully believe we have our franchise TE.*

    If he is anything CLOSE to what Tony G was in a chiefs jersey that would be one hell of a steal. I hope he can be that good. GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!

    i think he is a way better blocker than tony g was early in his career.of course tony g improved on that but gonzalez pass catching ability that is going to be hard to duplicate.moeaki is definantly going to help in the run game and can still stretch the field i like it

    He isn't. He's a Jason Dunn-type blocking TE and end zone threat. Not a Tony G. style receiver.

    Have you watched any video on this kid? He isn't scared to go up after the ball like TG did and he can make just about any catch a wide out can make. As for his injuries, this is football a contact sport , not golf.

    Yeah, I saw several Iowa games this year. He's not a 1/10th of the WR Gonzo is. He's a blocking TE/red zone guy. He can catch the ball, but he doesn't have TG's hands or athleticism. You're deluding yourself if you think otherwise.

    No s***. Maybe it's because this is a contact sport that you shouldn't draft people who are injury prone.

    One thing you can always count on, is time, it will tell the story, in time.
