How fucking horrible. And don't kid yourself, this was done because of the QB's limitations. No one should look at Schultz like he's the best TE in the league. He's a liability in the running game and the dude is a horrendous blocker. He's the kind of player we can replace in the draft.
I don't think because they tagged him they believe he's the best TE in the league or anything.
But he is a solid receiving TE and his numbers the last two years rank well within the top-10 in receptions (very near the top) yards and tds.
I still think his blocking struggles are more technique than anything else. He was regarded as a good blocker at Stanford and Stanford since Harbaugh and Shaw have been there has been a factory for solid TE prospects.
There's some good TE prospects in this upcoming draft and I suspect they will take one somewhere, but I dont think he's easily replaceable THIS year and if they are truly moving on from Cooper (and Wilson likely to leave too) then losing Schultz now would just be another big hole the offense needs to immediately replace.
