Gesicki’s athletic ability alone is insane. It’s significantly better than even Kelce and he’s a smooth pass catcher. I think it’s “need” to take the other defensive players over him.
I highly doubt the guy is anywhere close t us anyway. I would be shocked if Gesicki fell past 40.

Oliver is one hell of a corner with pro-ready technique that's hard to teach. I saw one NFLN guy put him at 18 to the Seahawks (Bucky maybe?) and several put him in late 1. I wouldn't group Oliver in there. As for Harrison, I'm never as impressed with Alabama DBs as others, and I think his value is somewhere in the mid-2nd. Gesicki isn't getting the kind of love from anyone that I've seen Oliver get at times, although I think he's going in late 1 to New England as the heir to Gronk.
All that said, I'd be very happy with Gesicki as the pick. I don't find it to be overly realistic that he'd be the pick, but he's super-talented and Reid would find ways to get more 2 TE sets on the field.
