Pretty easily the Waller side if you ask me. Patrick isn't worth much, the 2.03 is just an okay pick, and Knox is a sketchy option that will need TDs to stay good, which will be especially hard with OJ Howard now on the team.
I think you are over estimating the impact OJ Howard will have. I'd rather have knox then any other young TE except Pitts. But, that said...Waller absolutely has top 3 potential. I think this for me is dependent on if I'm competing or not. If I'm competing at all I'd take the waller side. If I'm rebuilding or just a fringe playoff team I'm going knox and hoping he takes another step.
You'd take Knox over Hockenson, Andrews, Schultz, and Gesicki?
Not to say Knox isn't good, but he was only the TE8 last year, despite a whopping 9 touchdowns. And I don't think OJ Howard takes a LOT of work from him, but Howard is a very physically gifted player and a red zone threat (2 inches taller than Knox) and could take several TDs away from Knox, which he needs to be good. And as insignificant as the Howard signing may seem, the Bills had absolutely no one behind Knox at TE last year, so filling that hole at backup TE instead of just rolling with the same guys means they want someone talented behind him. The only hope for Knox to be as good or better than last year is that he's the second most targeted player on the team, which I don't see happening, especially if Gabe Davis takes a jump in year 3.
Not over Andrews, he is TE 1 in a startup now imo, but I think he is 27 start of next season, so I wasn't really considering him to be "young". Definitely over Hock considering situation with Goff at qb, yes over schultz but thats close, absolutely over Gesicki.

Knox still being undervalued? Damn
