Have you seen Zack Gentry on tape?

The Steelers also got desperate for a tight end and ended up with a bad one. Zach Gentry showed on tape the inability to block in-line and to get separation in the passing game. The Steelers drafted all on potential. Gentry did well from a measurables standpoint and that is why they took him fifth round.

I saw a headline that said “The Best is Yet to Come with Zach Gentry.” Of course, when you draft purely on measurables, the best has to come from the player after they have been drafted. I see Xavier Grimble being the number two tight end this year.
