The Witten comparison is strange at best.

I think Ertz is a Jason Witten-like TE. Solid in-line blocker and will be a reliable target for his QB.
Plus, I think Eifert is a tad soft.

daniel jeremiah threw that out there...and my immediate thought was ertz is not the level in line blocker witten is...weird comparison...about as wierd as jeremiah still plugging ansah to 34 teams as an olb fit...actually the ansah olb ones probably worse...
Both are subpar blockers, Eifert just does it better imo. Not saying I would choose Eifert in the 1st, although I would, because like you said there other TEs. Esobar's blocking is atrocious and will not seperate from LBs, McDonald has questionable hands, and we already covered Ertz. I'd say Kelce is right behind Eifert and wouldn't mind using 2b or 3a on him.I love the "arm measurement" garbage. Pass on a excellent player because his arms are shorter than his contemporaries by an inch.
Secondly, I am not the first to mention the Witten comparison.
Eifert is a subpar blocker to Ertz.
I would rather snag another position at 12 (or trade up) and get a TE in rounds 2-4. Ertz, Escobar, Kelce and McDonald are not that far behind Eifert.
Make no mistake though, I could see the Fins drafting Eifert on the first night of the draft. I just do not think it is of much value.
