I was remembering him having a good season, but 300 damn yards is terrible. That's like brain dead for a guy built like an NBA player.

Someone double check Sub Zeros stats if you have the time.

You're Kylie Pitts had 300 yards in his rookie season? Why do I remember that differently?

Yes absolutely if we see a better option over Hurst in the draft pull the trigger. The rookie might not take the starting sport week one, but that doesn't make it a bad pick.

Not even. Tight ends like Kylie Pitts, and others, can come in and make a big impact before being fully developed. You're seeing this as black and white or something.

So I never said it doesn't take time for a TE to fully develop. Thanks.

Please go back and quote me where I said that it doesn't take time for a TE to develop fully.

Who said it doesn't take some time for a TE to develop fully? I didn't.

If you don't know what I'm talking about then this is going nowhere. I'll leave it here.

Just to clarify on the Olsen thing. Olsen was traded to us from the Bears because their style of offense couldn't utilize his talent.

You do understand that Olsen was being used to block on that Bears team. I think you're not understanding what Olson was asked to do on that Bears team, so you have stats out of context.

Not mention if Hurst, who will be 30 years old running around out there, is injured we have to rely on Ian Thomas for our rookie.

You're talking about Hurst in his prime being seen as Mayers, but Hurst is past his prime.

It is not highly unlikely that we can draft a TE better than Hurst. I don't know where you are getting that.

i would be happy to spend a high big on a better TE than Hurst to have more separation for our rookie. We simply disagree on priorities. You're thinking defense, I'm thinking explosive passing weapons better than what we have now. We'll see how it pans out. Fair to disagree.

It's not about big time production, but rather helping our rookie have a great big target to find. That works wonders for confidence and development. So important. We're not headed to the SB this upcoming season, or lighting the league on fire, but our QB development is critical.

I want to upgrade from Hurst in this draft if a better option is available. I see that as important for the reason I gave in the other post. Be careful thinking of our WRs as studs because that could be a bit of echo chamber thinking. The Huddle's response is that our WRs our these awesome studs, but other fan bases are not impressed.

The only way we could get a #1 WR in the draft would be a trade up which is possible, but unlikely. TE is I see as a need and it's a great target for a rookie QB. Tall, fast, elite prospect getting open and making life easier on CJ or Young. Perfect.

#1 WR. #1 TE. Edge rusher. CB for depth. Basically you don't start a season without a #1 TE and #1 WR and expect to do well on offense. We'll struggle until you get that fixed even if the rookie QB plays fairly well. It's not optional if you want to win. This is a passing league.

And 5.57% the QB is great.

Just looking at this draft it's full of #2 caliber TEs like I don't think I've ever seen before, and a few #1s as well, but then the Fitt signs what amounts to a #2 TE. Fitt drives crazy sometimes, but I understand he wants a veteran presence. There are some strong things about this draft, but WR is looking so weak. Yikes. Tons of little slot receivers. I'm not going to go over each position, but I will say QB looks strong. And I have been saying that 2023 was going to be the year we get our 1st round QB for while now, and it's finally happening. I'll do a no trade mock draft in the future.
