Kyle Pitts at #8

As I watched the games this year, the glaring need for a TE was obvious.  Carolina has had literally nothing at TE since Olsen left.  Having a true threat at TE would vault Bridgewater on to a whole new level.  With Mcaffrey out most of the season, defenses attacked the qb more so as there was no threat of Mccaffrey getting behind them.  But what happens when you add a playmaking TE that can get behind that rush for Bridgewater to throw it over the top of the rush to.  Well now you give the defense something else to think about.  With Mccafrey coming back, the emergence of Samuel and Davis in this offense, and adding a true play making TE will give us an offense we haven't seen in a long time.

Because that’s what is holding this team back....not enough weapons.

If we did it, we better have a plan at QB because surrounding Teddy with more weapons is only going to lead to more frustration.

I think were stuck with him for another year.  He didnt exactly have an ideal oline and with mccafrey out, the offense struggled.  his job becomes easier with mccaffrey back and a restructure oline.  I believe he can perform better.

How much more evidence do some people need that Teddy is who he is? He is who he's always been. Teddy is going to always be super conservative. He's always going to take the checkdown. We had the ideal situation for him here with lots of guys who are great after the catch and it still produced meh results in the scoreboard primarily because the redzone is where Teddy's limitations are most obvious. More weapons isn't going to fix those limitations.

Teddy is a backup QB. He has a backup QB's mentality. He plays the game not to lose and the only way you can win with that type of QB is to field an absolutely dominant roster and you can't do that year in and year out due to the salary cap.

A TE at #8 when the TE position is not a key piece in the Brady offense makes no sense.  This is the one position I would like to address in FA.  I was on the draft a high TE bandwagon for 3 consecutive drafts from 2016-2108.  That ship has sailed.  Too many other key positions to address.  Plus, if you do draft a rookie QB at #8, you need a veteran TE security blanket, not another rookie trying to figure things out.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
