TE this offseason

[ncfan]

While ill argue that MLB is our biggest weakness and needs to be addressed this offseason.  

But TE needs to be addressed this offseason.  There are 2 STUDS in this upcoming draft that ill spare for another time closer to the draft.

 

But watching around the league then seeing us, its obvious.

 

Our redzone struggles arent because lack of CMC, lack of a Hammer RB like Tolbert, or a bull dozing QB like Cam.

 

We just dont have that giant reliable mismatch target.

 

Watching Kmet for the Bears snag that catch in the middle of the endzone over multiple defenders made me a little Jealous.

 

And even moving onto tonight.  The Chiefs, a big reason for their success, Kelce, has just been a complete mismatch with 2 redzone TDs in the 1st half. 

 

 

Now, dont get me wrong.  I hope Ian Thomas can find something and turn it around, but im jist not seeing it happen.  He is looking more and more of solid backup TE like a Ed Dickson.

Good but not one of the 2 i was referring.

 

The 2 I was referring werre Pitts out of Florida and Pat Freiermuth

 

Jordan is good but in a class behind them.

Agreed

But not trying this into a early draft discussion.  But unless your going to get that top MLB.  The next guy wont be that much better than what youll be seeing in rd 2.  While you could get a game changer at TE where we will be drafting.

And again, how we go and address free agency could change all that too.

Who is your ideal number 2 MLB pick for the middle of round one? Because we don’t look to be in the top 10 nor the back 10.

Moses i grasped a vibe, could fall back as far as 14.

The closer we are to 10 I’d like to go for Pitts and really set our offense up for long term success with Teddy, DJ, CMC, Robbie, Curtis and Pitts. We would have answers for everything you could do defensively in the red zone. The further back we are in the first the more I worry the talent at TE and LB drops off.

Id like to go for Pitt or then Penn State kid then LB rd 2

I want the offensive line solidified before anything else.

Mind you, I never get what I want, so...

To be honest, our OL has besn solid overall outside of the Bears game (who's been one if not the best front 7 in football this year)

 

Also to note, a bunch of of highly targeted draft/price OL doesnt mean success.  The Atlanta Falcons OL we faced last week has 5 former 1st rd picks on it.

If we want to be a playoff level team, we have to be able to handle defensive attacks like the Bears bring.

Outside of Moton, they're all pretty easily replaced, especially Paradis.

Okung is good, but for how long? We need a left tackle of the future there.
