We need one and this draft has some super interesting ones:

Brycen Hopkins (love, love, love)

Cole Kmet

 

Other notables:

https://thedraftnetwork.com/prospect-rankings (sort by position)

Hunter Bryant

Thaddeus Moss

Jared Pinkney (another one I'm a big fan of)

--

Overall, I see at least 5 legit TE prospects in this class, 2 in particular with instant plug and start ability both as blockers and receivers. 

Would not be opposed RD2-4.

Only if they can also play LT in the first 3 rounds

Given who's on the roster, C, OG, TE, LT, DT, DE, LB, S, CB are all huge needs.   Wills, Wirfs, or Thomas are obvious targets R1 but I don't want to waste another 2-6 on a OT when we just used 2 picks on tackles on it last draft.  Not to mention what we do with a bunch of super young and promising 3-4 EDGE talent.  Honestly, this draft has become a new strategy:

Grab the best talent available minus RB and OLB.  This is the most holes I've seen since Tremors.

This btw is what opposing pass rushers will be saying over Cam’s corpse if we don’t fix the oline Yesterfuggingday.

If we would have taken a top-end TE in one of the past 3 drafts like I've been wanting, this wouldn't be an issue.  Alas, the need for a TE has been overtaken by other pressing matters.  I'm thinking 4th round at the earliest, possibly 3rd if a steal is available.  Hopefully by then we will have selected an OL and/or DL and can afford our first luxury pick of the draft.

It's still early, but this wouldn't be a very stong TE class.  The 2018 class where I was pounding the table for a TE in the first 3 rounds, was solid year.  We got Ian Thomas in the 4th, but I still think we need a compliment or even an slight upgrade.  I was a huge Dallas Goedert fan, but the Eagles grabbed him a few picks before us.  I doubt we would have taken him if he would have lasted anyway.   Why? One word, Hurney.

Loved that movie. Can't remember the second one (I think I liked it), but anything after that was poo.

I would like to see what Thomas has with a coaching staff that want stash him for 5 years. 

Thomas needs a running mate. I'm nearly certain that Olsen is just waiting to see Cam's fate.  Even if Greg is here one more year (and it looking less likely) we still need more depth.  I'm so over Manhertz.

Thomas and Samuel need to take turns on Samuel's JUGS machine!

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
