Post Game Eagles Defeat Green Bay

I agree Mark. I think Kraft runs better routes than Musgrave and he blocks better. He is a better all around TE.

I like Musgrave (and Watson too) but both he and Watson just play much smaller and more timid than their size. Compare that to Kraft and Reed who play bigger than their statures. Timid routes and lack of "my ball" mentality will cut their careers short. That's a long way off of course but timid skill players don't get big second contracts.
 
When I saw both running routes in the first preseason game after their draft, I was pretty certain Kraft was going to be the better of the two, regardless of what the reads were, by others.

Kraft displayed the mental skills that makes a quality TE. As an example, maneuvering to get his body between the defender and the football when he's the target, and reading down and distance for 1st downs, which is almost as important as catching the ball itself. Plus, he was throwing blocks, while other TEs didn't see it as that much a part of their job.
