Dallas Goedert, tight end, Round 2 (49th overall)

If we just look at the game film from 2018, Dallas Goedert is a B-plus tight end and a nice compliment to Zach Ertz, but he’s regressed in year two, thanks, in large part to a key dropped touchdown pass and a very costly fumble in two important games.
