He's a decent to solid player. He isn't worth $50 million.

The market is the market. Fans seem to want to take the Ryan Poles’ approach of ignoring the market and getting worse out of principle.

Say what you will about PFF rankings - they’re the only service I know that actually assigns blocking value to the position and he’s been a top 10 TE blocker over the course of a season. He had a couple bad games early this year but I’m not going to ignore the whole body of work because of it.

_________________

I don't think the market said he deserved top 5 guarantees because he had 6 good games at the end of last season and he's a great locker room guy. It looks like Ryan Poles ignored the market because they had to get to the cap floor.

He and Dawson Knox have had fairly similar careers and got fairly similar contracts in the same offseason. That’s market.

I was a fan of Kmet's his rookie season. He made rookie mistakes but he fought for every yard. He had some George Kittle in him. He forgot how to catch his sophomore year. Outside of some late season touchdowns last season, he was replacement level before signing a new contract.

You can’t accuse other people of box score scouting and post receiving stats (which show he was pretty even all year) without commenting on blocking.

Is PFF wrong that he was a top 10 blocking TE last year?

I don't know about top 10. There are a lot of TEs like Mercedes Lewis who have only blocked for about the last decade, but I thought he was blocking well last year. I'm pretty certain I posted that in our Kmet Tracker thread.

So....better than a typical game with the Bears.

I have to say that I was wrong about Kmet being a bust. I still would like the Bears to draft the great te from Texas who I think would really provide Fields another weapon and especially a safety valve for him.
