    Apparently not only Gruden didn't like him if he only had 9 receptions and 80 yards in 13 active games last year.

    This is part of the Mac's BPA philosophy of filling holes to give the team flexibility in the draft. This is a deep TE draft and we could still draft a TE but now there is less pressure to reach for one.

    I think this is a good move. As you said, Noam, it removes the immediate pressure to draft a TE. Assuming that Leggett is healthy, knows the offense, and the Jets still like him, I think it could be a decent group of TEs.

    A couple of questions for those of you who know more about Walford...1. Does he block? 2. If so, is he a good blocker?

    The guy went out last year with a neck injury because they were using a talented WR at Hback. You really want to repeat that mistake?

    He's weak at run blocking, excellent at pass blocking.

    If I remember correctly, his injury came in practice and was non contact. Had a bulging disc for a while.
    His best production came at H back. He's a matchup nightmare there.

    I was talking about a punter. Don't think anyone didn't like him because he "only" had 9 receptions. Lol.

    Because given the changes to the game even in college, run blocking isn't as important as in the past. Hard to find one TE who does both well

    Should be a good pickup. Walford is supposed to be a decent run blocker in a zone scheme.

    I know, had to go back and read my post over again to make sure I didn't screw up. Not like I haven't done that before, lol

    You would think he'd come back and just say he missed it
