Joker TEs in this draft

[MonsterD]

We have one on our team right now, his name is James Hanna, but this is something that is growing in the NFL. I think teams have to have both types of TE and use them at the same time, it is part of the NFL being a passing league.

This is a good write up even if it is on SBnation

IMO Gavin Escovar is going to be the best TE of this draft in 2014. He is a natural pass catcher on par with Dez. His blocking is meddling at best and has the speed of a Jason Witten. Wish we did not have so many holes that need filling he would be a great asset.

what exactly is a "joker TE?" i have been hearing that "term" for a while now. is it the new style of reciever TE? like the aaron hernandez type, jimmy graham, etc ?

You didn't read the article, apparently.

clearly I didn't hence why I am asking.

A move end where you split the TE out wide, in the slot to create mismatches

 

[Teague31]

We need a true blocking TE more than we need another joker

As someone said, the source is a bit subpar. But that author did a really good job on the article with photos, videos as well as a thorough analysis. You owe it to yourself to read it.
