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.

      Caleb Williams has more passing yards in 7 attempts than our QB did in 4 quarters.

      Red Zone T-Mac Targets?!?!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just looking at the box score and now realizing it goes even further than the red zone usage. On the first drive of the game, T-Mac was targeted 3 times, Brycen twice, and Renfrow once. Which means for the remainder of the game, Bryce only had 9 targets to his WRs.   And yes, I get it, we won by 30 in a shutout, but it's not like the game was a blowout the whole time where we were just running it to preserve the lead.  But just like I felt all throughout 2015, we might have been winning games, but it was in spite of the coaching staff that season, not because of them.  They made soooooo many play calls and game plans that made no sense and the players seemed to constantly bail them out, and it was frustrating when fans would get upset at asking these questions just because we were winning. It's also not like we have a clear cut long term franchise QB solution, we had 17 games (and now just 14 more) to prove Bryce can either be the guy or not be the guy, so even in games like this, we need to be throwing it more and throwing it downfield more to see what he can be. I said all off-season, we're not contenders this year, winning or losing doesn't matter to me, it's about finding out if Bryce should be our long term guy or if we should move on after this year.  Games like this are nice for the win, but they hurt our ability to evaluate him properly.
