makes sense since Kittle usually misses a few games a year.

Great point. For the longest time I wanted Kyle to get younger at kicker *and* at fullback considering Juszczyk is 32 (Gould was a solid gold 40 years old). I got the kicker, now I"m hoping for the fullback.
Latu could be an experiment (played two positions in past) 
This looks more like a defensive draft. As for Latu and the offensive weapon position. I think he can be an offensive weapon sort of like Juszczyk. Got to see if he can run like a fullback though. But I like his skillset and the fact that he's improving rather rapidly - from the college perspective.
Double TE sets with Kittle and Latu.

Idk what the hell people are talking about - this looks like an awesome pick and essentially an early fourth rounder. Hell yeah. Has great ability, wayyy more than anyone on our team besides kittle.
he will be an awesome 1-2 punch with kittle. Just needs to get some good coaching and body built up. I love it

Latu's got really good hands. Yeah, looking forward to double TE sets with him & Kittle. I think the TE Willis (OK) could become Juice's replacement. He's stronger than Latu and looks more the hybrid FB-type. Really surprised he lasted 'til the 7th rd.

AGree, Walter Football graded him as a 4th round talent. I've been hoping they get Juszczyk's understudy in a long time. Three tight end set offenses, here we come!

If that comes into fruition (Willis a hybrid) we'll be talking "I like this kinda party"

Will be interesting to see how he pans out, my completely uneducated eye test tells me I would want to see more separation on a "highlight reel" considering its Bama and he had a soon to be NFL qb throwing to him.

This dude is getting so much hate for some reason. He wasn't a bad player at all. QB rating when targeting him was over 100, broke the single season TD record for Alabama TEs, had a really good game in the National Championship, and has only been playing the position for like 3 years.
