From Gladstone’s perspective, the move was an attempt to get out in front of an expected run on tight ends with the NFL moving in the direction of multiple tight end sets.
Boy, was he right. Following the selection of Boerkircher, 4 of the next 17 picks were at the tight end position. Among the teams that selected a tight end was Gladstone’s old mentor, Les Snead, and the Rams, who battered the Jaguars in multiple tight end sets last season.
