Gerald Everett 2018 Outlook
According to the Sports Xchange, the Rams want more from their tight ends moving forward, especially since 2016 draft-pick Tyler Higbee did not distinguish himself with only 25 catches for 295 yards last year. Drafted in the second round of 2017 to be the Rams' mismatch receiving option at tight end, Everett came out of South Alabama further behind the learning curve as a receiver than many anticipated. He flashed potential during his rookie season with 16 catches for 244 yards, and was effective after the catch, but he dropped far too many of his 32 targets. As Bleacher Report noted, Everett wasn't used much as a blocker, as he was severely undersized. (It is worth noting that Higbee is a capable blocker.) All that said, even though Everett has a long ways to go before he becomes the next Zach Ertz or Jordan Reed, the Rams expect continued development in his second campaign. For their part, B/R believes Everett has all the tools and talent to eventually get there.

Gerald Everett 2017 Outlook
Look for the Rams to make the tight end a focal point in their offense under new HC Sean McVay, who did that effectively with Jordan Reed in his three-year stint as Redskins' OC. And don't be surprised if the 6'3 240-pound Everett becomes an immediate contributor along with fellow TE Tyler Higbee. According to Pro Football Focus, of Everett's 1,593 career reception yards, 63.5 percent of those yards came after the catch. The second-round rookie led the country in forced missed tackles over the past two seasons, even though five other tight ends had more receptions. He provides an impressive presence in the middle of the field and all his physical traits make him capable of shielding defenders away at the catch point even when he doesn't create a ton of separation. He needs to clean up his technique a bit, but he couldn't have found his way to a better coach than McVay. His 2017 redraft value is limited, but his Dynasty value is high.
