Strengths

• Good overall size and frame
• Large catch radius (33 ⅞” arms, 80” wingspan)
• Large hands (10 ⅞”)
• Good athlete who can attack the field vertically
• Solid ability to release off the LOS
• Avoids contact, has good lateral movement skills and lower body flexion to bend around jam and traffic around the LOS
• Ran a lot of horizontal and vertical crosses
• Has enough foot-speed and technique at breaks to create ample separation against linebackers
• Was solid on intermediate in breaking routes for a tight end
• Suffers from concentration drops, but he has very soft hands
• Climbs the ladder and makes contested catches away from his frame
• Uses his catch radius well, big soft hands help secure off-target throws
• A really good weapon up the seam and in the middle of the field
• Is nimble creating YAC (see LSU game)
• True big-play ability
• Will try hard as a blocker

Can Improve

• More of a receiver than he is a blocker
• Functional strength at the point of attack is troublesome
• Hand placement and technique are marginal while blocking
• Had some concentration drops
• More of a move TE or a big slot, rather than a true Y

Summary

Overall, Greg Dulcich is a very good receiving tight end with athletic upside. Dulcich broke out in Chip Kelly’s offense in 2021; he was used at all three levels of the field and his speed assisted the UCLA offense in stretching the defense and creating mismatches. 

He has big-play ability and some moves with the football in his hand. I appreciate his effort while blocking, but he’s not too effective in that area. Dulcich will be a mismatch receiving weapon for an offense, but he may not have the upside to be a true "Y" tight end.

GRADE: 6.29
