McGlinchey, Warner and Kittle are very good young players. But we missed on most of the rest. We blew some very early round picks. Like Armstead and Solomon Thomas. Those early round busts really hurt you a lot. Although Armstead is actually a good player vs the run if you watch him play. I think we would like a lot more pass rush out of him. But it's hard to say he doesn't play the run well.

As for Kittle he looks absolutely great. He's far better than I thought he would be and I have said so before. He's fast, runs great routes, blocks bigger than his size, is aggressive going up for the ball, has great hands and coordination. He's just an excellent play maker. He should be great for us for years to come. Unfortunately he doesn't have much of a team around him. It's very sub par with a lot of bust picks.

Armstead was not a Lynch pick.

Did I say he was?

This effing generation.

But Kittle is a funny dude.
"Funny how"
...Where would you put him in terms of overall play? Compared to Gronk Ertz and Kelce? I know he needs to play longer to make a judgment but right now I think he is Playing better than all of them with probably the worst starting quarterback in the league and they arguably have the best qbs in the league.

That is saying a lot

I don't agree...Gronk, Ertz and Kelce right now are money and play big on the biggest stages when their teams need plays. Kittle hasn't gotten to that level yet even with all the stats.

Yup me too.

Lynch's greatest pick. A 5th round tight end.

for a guy with 54k posts you think you would be smart enough to know it takes 3-4 years to properly evaluate a draft.

I don't at all. Just out of curiosity, have you guys considered the elite quarterbacks throwing to the above tight ends that I mentioned? Kittle would be that much better with a quarterback that is accurate.

I'm just glad we have him and he is already playing at a pro bowl level like I said before the only thing in his way is his health and hopefully he has that under control
As we said back in the day ... kittle rocks !!!!
He's going to be a 1,000 yard TE.

This. Right now, Kittle only plays for stats. We will be able to properly evaluate him next year when the games matter. Or if he goes up against an elite pass defending LB/safety and scorches them, then I can bump him up some notches. But no matter what your numbers are, you have to win when the money is on the line, which is also why I say the jury is still out on KC and LA.
