100% Great post. You get what I have been trying to say. Tight ends simply do not carry enough weight to be drafted in the first.

https://thefalconswire.usatoday.com/gallery/nfl-draft-falcons-tight-end-kyle-pitts-hayden-hurst-atlanta/ There is a ton of garbage on that list. I cannot think of another position group that flames out like TE when drafted in the first. And I suspect the NFL front offices know this and thus the reason so few are drafted in the first

You are looking at that in hindsight obviously but the overall majority of tes picked in the first are just not worth it. TG being the obvious outlier. I mean Olsen only had 3 1000 yard seasons and never double digit tds. And he really didnt start producing until 7ish years into his career. If you knew you were getting a te with gronks/kelce stats then sure but its damn near impossible to project that.

and that was still probably too high based on his overall career Tight ends simply are not worth a first round pick

TE are not first round worthy draft picks. You are right and we have discussed this in depth, they simply are not worth burning a first on.

Hence the swoosh. He doesn’t get it.

::whoosh::

I mean we are in a pretty good spot right now, albeit it was pricey to get to this point, but I will never understand the logic of drafting a project linebacker over Howell in the 4rth especially considering how bad we had it at that position for years and more importantly when the GM specifically said you keep drafting one until it hits.

Thats not his fault. For what he is and what he gives you his contract is very very team friendly. I gave fitts props for that at the time. Hate to lose him but if it leads to a franchise qb, well then good luck in chi town dj.

This is one crazy ass thread

What does winning feel like? Its been like 7ish years since I vaguely remember something to that effect

cam sucked ass in otas, sucked ass in preseason and exploded in week 1 Richardson is supposedly having a good practice as is stroud but nobody doesnt know poo until the bullets start flying

The best thing about bryce is one side is clearly going to "win" per se and one side is clearly going lose. I dont there is an in between with him. He is either going to be all pro or IR and I suspect we will see in short order.

1. Hopefully TMJ is past his injury stigma and was held back by shoddy qb play and rhule 2. Adam T probably shouldnt be expected to do much of anything outside of leading by example. 33 is old by wr standards 3. Chark is coming off surgery and gets hurt a lot. Anything we get from him is a bonus IMO 4. With the steriod like development of young wrs these days it wouldnt surprise me to see him make some headway throughout the year and starting by the end 5. Not a fan of Shenault as a wr. To bulky and not much juice to his game

A wr signing isn't detrimental to Fitts job. That is clearly tied to young.

But but but the stats........

you are cherry picking your stats obviously

lol he was suspended for 4 games his rookie year, he had mono in his 2nd year and he won dpoy in his 3rd. Goddamn people

I agree. That is a dumb and baseless clickbait article.

Not really. Don’t want Caleb or maye in our division

And you can always rework it. The main thing I hope we are conscious of especially in light of the cmac deal is how long and how much guaranteed money is at stake. He is going to get paid, he has all the leverage we are just hoping its not some crazy ass mega deal that could go sideways as we have seen a ton from this team.

Mono took out peppers for a season and a half. Pep was in another stratosphere when he was on.

They are about to be in cap hell and both darnold and Mcvay have hinted retirement.

Biggest game of his life and he shits the bed. Heres the pff thread. The highlights are on youtube and its him being single blocked and ran at
