TE Depth

Not satire or sarcasm. A bit of hyperbole though. Is it our greatest need heading into the draft? No. Is it a big need? Absolutely

 

Tomlin and Kahn were both at Georgia’s pro day.

 

Not cranky in anyway....., but You don't build a team by keep getting people for positions You already have filled, and skipping ones You don't.

 

Is Bowers eligible for the draft? He's the better TE from UGA. Needs to bulk up a bit but he is a clutch pass catcher and big time threat to score.

 

Agreed. Heyward will be the #2 but if Gentry resigns he will be used as more of a blocker anyway. They can grab one in the 4th if in so they don't get a FA or resign Gentry or later on as you stated.

 

I was kidding!

 

every team should have at least one..lol

 

Next year. He is a significantly different receiver than Washington. Bowers is more like Aaron Hernandez minus the gang crap

 

Heyward can’t block and gentry is an abortion. Heyward is a nice piece to have, but he’s not a #2 te. More of a Swiss Army knife. Washington is basically a 6th offensive lineman every time we are in 12 personnel with the addition of very good receiving abilities.

Heyward isn’t doing that

 

When he comes off the sled and turns around his chest makes Dolly Parton proud.

 

And he’s taller, faster, bigger hands, longer arms, weighs more, benched more, more explosive etc… On every combine aspect except one.

Maybe if he wasn’t in such a loaded system of future pro players like Georgia he’d have been more relied on and his stats more stacked.

Just got a feeling that this guy is going to dominate in the league. And I hope in our Black and Gold uniforms.

 

we get it you don't want him blast but c'mon the guy is a very good blocker.

I'd take Him, but I think that He would be a luxury pick, and not a forsure need.. JMO

 

So much failure in this post.

 

Something you display on a daily basis

 

I wouldn't take Washington at #17, but if he was there at #32, I would think they might consider it.

 

I’m not seeing those criticisms that you are. And certainly not compared to the other two guys in the clip who are ranked higher from squads with lesser offensive weapons and success than the loaded team he was on. It’s easy to argue his *stats are deflated due to the national champions spreading it to all of their high powered targets. I’d bet some of his under measured stats and quite a bit of his teams success is due to his blocking that is stat-less. And neither Friermuth or Connor are gems in that department either.

I also like Connor too for the Swiss Army knife that he is, that’s valuable, and the three of those guys in the TE room would make me shoot fireworks out of my skull.

I don’t get why the one unique position of TE on a team is as undervalued as it is. The ability to line up one player to block AND/or receive (even run with the ball) if a player is gifted with size and ability is possibly the sharpest weapon on offense IMO. Having two great ones and the versatility of Conner negates my desire for a deeper WR room.

Right now I don’t feel like I have to make a Sophie’s Choice in the room, because one could hope to choose all three.

 

If they get one of top tackles at #17, then draft Washington at #32, who is going to be able to stop the Steelers running game ?

 

Agree but still need to see more investment in OL. I like the Seumalo pickup but would like to see a real stud OT added either draft or trade. Run blocking improved greatly throughout last season. Not so sure about pass pro. Gotta protect KP.

 

I think Edmunds signing somewhere else really throws a wrench in everyone’s draft opinion of needs and priorities for this team. Unless the pull a good FA rabbit out of a hat.
