2.11 New Orleans Chocolate City - TE Zach Ertz

In the real world: In an ideal world, TUFF owners would like the best offensive players to go to teams that need them, instead of going into job situations that seem crappy. So a lot of owners didn't like it when Ertz went to the Eagles, who already have Brent Celek, instead of the New York Jets, who have... Jeff Cumberland? But Chip Kelly, the Eagles' new head coach, liked to use his tight ends while at Oregon, so maybe there's potential for Ertz, the consensus #2 TE in the NFL Draft, in Philly. Celek is signed through 2016. The question is, will Ertz replace Celek, or will Kelly use both tight ends more than Andy Reid did?
In the TUFF world: The Chocolate City had no backup for Brandon Pettigrew--as of the time this Draft Wrapup was published, Todd Heap was an unsigned, banged-up 33-year-old free agent--and got a good value considering where Ertz went in the NFL Draft. It could get a lot better if Kelly's new offense is as revolutionary as Celek says it will be.
