TE this offseason

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.

If we go TE or MLB in round one I'll be super excited

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.

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.

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.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
