Draft: Tight Ends (there are some good ones)

Recommended Posts

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.

“Cold my ass! It’s dead! We killed it! Fuuuuuuug You!”

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!

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
