Instant Fantasy Analysis - TE Dallas Goedert, Eagles

[The Football Guru 212]

Philadelphia likely stuck it to Dallas a bit with this pick, although it does serve a need as the Eagles parted ways with Brent Celek and lost Trey Burton in free agency. He will be expected to fill the latter's role as Zach Ertz's backup as a rookie and, like Burton, he'll find a way to make an impact as Philadelphia tries to play the mismatch game with two tight ends on the field. Goedert doesn't offer much as a blocker, but he can stretch the seam and hit a vertical plane in the red zone that linebackers and safeties simply can't reach. His redraft use will be limited to if/when Ertz gets hurt, and his dynasty value figures to be limited as well since Ertz isn't losing his job anytime soon.

A necessary depth move. Goedert has the ability to line up everywhere and still be able to block.
