2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on Aug-20-2012 by George Bissell

Tony Gonzalez is now 36 years old, but is coming off another productive season in which he caught 80 passes for 875 yards with seven touchdowns. There are younger options with more upside, but the reality is that the future Hall of Famer just continues to produce. Gonzalez is the ideal pickup for fantasy owners who miss out on the elite options at the position on draft day. Gonzalez is a low-end starting fantasy tight end with extremely limited upside due to his age.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	11.09	ProFootballFocus
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	11.12	FFToolbox.com (Matt) - Gonzo is as steady as they come and produces like a low-end TE1.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	12.02	FFToolbox.com (Ben) - In a real world draft I can see me going QB (Locker) here. However, with the best ball format, the lacking upside of the potential options who don't have the same bye as starting QB has me looking elsewhere. Even though I have Graham, I'll go best available since I believe (?) we can start two TE in this version...
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	10.03	KFFL.com - There are a couple of RBs I'd like to grab here, and there are a couple of TEs remaining with nice upside, but even with some drop-off in Gonzalez's production thanks to his age and the increased involvement of others, the old man is a safe, solid pick at this stage. No sense in passing him up and letting one of the teams right behind me that also needs one of these to settle for a similar shot.
