cle23 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 4 catches for 36 yards in 5 games last year. And he got $6 million a year!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/tyler-kroft?id=2552586 this write up is certainly interesting. Predict him as a round 5 pick (goes in the 3rd) and compares him to Kelce. 3 minutes ago, cle23 said: 4 catches for 36 yards in 5 games last year. And he got $6 million a year!?!?!?

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) 2019 NFL Free Agency Profile: Tyler Kroft While Kroft hasn’t wowed with his grades, earning a career-high season grade of 64.9 as a rookie, he has been a consistent and flexible option. He plays most of his snaps at inline tight end but can also line up in the slot to catch passes or in the backfield to provide extra blocking in the run-game. He also can contribute on special teams, where he played 531 snaps in his first two seasons, earning a respectable 71.7 grade in 2015. His best season as a receiver came in 2017 filling in for the oft-injured Tyler Eifert, producing 404 yards and seven touchdowns along with a receiving grade of 62.7. If the Bengals choose to move on, the team that acquires Kroft will be getting a solid, multi-dimensional player who can contribute across all phases of the game.

Magnum Force Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 From his NFLCom 2015 draft profile NFL Comparison Travis Kelce Bottom Line Tall, athletic tight end with the frame to add more muscle and the athleticism to get open in space. Kroft is an aggressive blocker who can help the running game win on the edges, but he also possesses the quickness to get open in space and make a play after the catch. Kroft's size, athleticism and competitiveness as a blocker make him a scheme fit for most offenses and he could be one of the top tight ends to come from this draft class.

Orlando Tim Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I am missing why 6 million a year is setting people on fire- he is supposed to be a good blocker and has had a good offensive year- 6 million is what guys like that get in NFL. I bet Jesse James gets much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardb1952 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Until terms are announced, it's difficult to judge this deal. If there is no or little guaranteed money involved, it might be a great deal, even if it doesn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have a lot of open field to work with a guy like Green pulling coverages and he has averaged less than 10 ypc, which is kinda terrible. $6/ million for a guy like this, with little upside, seems questionable. Oh I think the price is a bit OTT.... but we have the money and no TEs at all on the roster. They were going to overpay for someone. Rather Kroft than James. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kroft is slightly better. But they are the same bracket as players. Good #2 TEs. And in case people think I am just being homerish my view that Tyler Kroft should be our FA TE target is widely available on these forums. Search my name and Kroft and you will find plenty if threads where I said it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26152205/barnwell-2019-nfl-free-agency-trade-grades-tracking-every-big-signing-move Tyler Kroft, TE, Buffalo Bills The deal: Three years, $18.8 millionGrade: C The Bills needed a tight end to serve as a weapon for Josh Allen and his generally bereft receiving corps. What they went for was Kroft, who has primarily been a blocking tight end during his pro career. The 6-foot-6, 252-pound Rutgers product did catch 42 passes for 404 yards and six touchdowns during the 2017 season, so there might be some untapped potential here, but nobody is likely to consistently catch a touchdown once every six receptions. Indeed, Kroft has one touchdown across 25 other receptions in his three other pro campaigns. This deal could swing in either direction based on the guarantee. If Buffalo guaranteed Kroft $7 million or so and it's a one-year deal to see what he might do in a larger role, it's a reasonable bet. If the Bills guaranteed Kroft $14 million and plan on standing pat at the position with him alongside Jason Croom, they're not doing Allen any favors. 12 minutes ago, MOVALLEYRANDY said: Gotta Love the "Merge Police" ?
