Love Frederick, Williams, and Wilcox. Its not that I don't like the player in Escobar, I think he is a good TE and a good player but just don't see the reason for the pick in the 2nd.
love it all but round 2

Makes a lot of sense IF we actually go base 12. Witten, Escobar, Dez, Williams.

I agree in general...I'd feel better about having some beef on the d-line in addition to the picks in the 1st and 3rd. I get it that Escobar will be a weapon, but boy would some young defensive line talent be nice right now.
I really like the Frederick/Williams combo for trading 18.

I agree and I really like Escobar and think he will end up the best pick of this draft, although I do not know alot about T Williams WR, Escobar can be a Superstar IMO once him and Tony form a trust. Still there were some helpful talented players which met some of our dire needs on the board. I understand that this is Jason Witten's heir.

I agree. The players are all decent, though I think most were taken too early (not Williams, if you wanted best WR there).
But round 2 and 3 were loaded, so burning the 47 th pick on Escobar really hurt this draft overall, IMO.
In league moving more and more to speed, we took A super slow TE at 47.
The guy is really skilled though

System
Escobar lined up all over the formation at San Diego State. He was an inline tight end, slot receiver, and H-back, sometimes changing his position before the snap.
Release
Escobar gets up to speed quickly with a good burst out of his stance. He even gets a good launch out of a three-point stance. Cushion from linebackers and safeties gets eaten up right away when Escobar rips the seam.
Routes
Escobar has an excellent throttle-down and break in his routes and finds lots of soft spots in zone defenses with these abilities. He can get up the field quickly, but lacks a second gear to separate downfield. Still, with his height and ball skills, he can be a viable target in tight coverage.
Hands
Escobar is a natural hands catcher who almost never lets the ball get into his body. He can fluidly extend and go high for a catch as easily as he can get low to snag an errant pass. Escobar might have the best hands of any tight end in this class. He'll gain the trust of his quarterback very quickly.
Ball Skills
Adjusting to the ball in flight is a routine exercise for Escobar. He can go high, low, or twist around to make his effective catch radius as big as any player in this class at tight end, and all but a few wide receivers. Escobar doesn't quite maximize his ability here, as he lacks a "my ball mentality" and does not attack the ball upon arrival.
