There's going to be nice competition for the #2 and #3 TE position.
Between Crumpler, Lee Smith and Yeatman.
And the size... we're looking at 2 6"6 blocking 270 lbs TE.
Plus Gronk who's 6"6 270 himself.
Yeatman looks like he could be a surprise as an athlete/end zone threat.
. I think this means Hernandez plays more as an H back or receiving TE/WR.
Will Yeatman, in my view, has more Up Side than any classical ~ 90% Blocking/10% Receiving ~ Tight End in this Class.
He is raw as hell, but he is the prototypical size for the job, and he commands astonishing athleticism.
Will Yeatman is a ferocious Blocker who commands great natural dexterity ~ honed through years of playing LaCrosse!! ~ and who has only just tasted his incipient Navigational Liquidity in running the Route Tree.
He commands nothing less than All Pro Potential as a mauling, crushing traditional Tight End...and with surprising Agility and Instincts as a Receiver!!
And yet he projects as a Free Agent.
God Bless America.

With all of this all-pro potential that he seems to have, you'd think that he would have been drafted :P
Side note: I've heard some people referring to him as a possible OT conversion prospect.

The thing with potential is that it’s just that, potential. I think Yeatman projects more like a OT who might have some ball skills. It’d be interesting if they train him up as a solid OT and then have him declare eligible on trick plays.
He can provide depth or be a potential heir to Vollmer, who is a tad older than we’d prefer, or BB can trade Yeatman for loot down the road.
I love the move, low risk but it could yield HUGE reward.

I view Yeatman as a redshirt tackle, and love the signing. Much better lateral footwork than Smith, but not as robust in-line. Nice long-term backup left tackle project.

Yeatman only JUST converted from LaCrosse ~ yes, LACROSSE!! ~ so you can be sure that he is raw as ALL get out. Hence: him going UFA, as had been expected. And for that reason I like our chances of slipping him onto the P Squad...Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
But his potential is IMMENSE. On pure Potential ALONE, he is the ONLY "Y" or Blocking Tight End I rated ahead of Lee Smith...and now we've got them BOTH!!!

Correct!! Wes Bunting was speculating, as far back as October, about somebody converting him, a la our man Steve Maneri...Personally, I'm against it, as I was with Maneri...But whatever gets either or both on the field is FINE BY ME, baby!!

Maneri redux?

Vollmer just turned 27 two weeks ago. How young would you like him to be?

23 would be nice. But keep in mind that the price tag on his next deal might not be very cap friendly, many other Tackle hungry teams might covet him as as a LT and be willing to sign him for big money, which makes grabbing Yeatman make even more sense.
