Read an article today about Zack Ertz’s comments about the eagles’ loss yesterday and it mentioned he had a very tradable contract and a down year due to injury. I know he’s a little older than Olsen was, but Ertz was once one of the elite TEs in the game and has only been in the league 7 years so he’s not THAT old. If we could get him on the cheap thanks to a down year, we should be able to get at least one good contract out of him and sure up our one skill position weak spot.  Anyone have info that would contradict this idea?

Ertz has slowed down a ton. Not sure what his contract looks like but I wouldn’t go out of my way to target him. If it’s a relatively cheap contract and cheap to acquire could be worth a shot but I wouldn’t expect much even if we did get him.

If our offense continues not to value the TE as an offensive weapon aside from blocking...don't see the need to get a big name TE.

This is likely because we don't have any that are deemed worthy of being valued as an offensive weapon.

If we are trading for a Philly TE, I'd take Dallas Goedert.  Really was wanting to draft him in 2018...badly.  He's still on the uptick where Ertz is winding down.

Ding ding ding. Our tight ends suck. Why would you choose them over CMC/Davis, Moore, Anderson and Samuel? We watched Ian get smashed by corners half his size preventing him from making a first down. I would avoid them at all costs as well.

He’s the only one worth drafting.

He (Pitts) is the best for sure. 

I would not use a 2nd on Freiermuth or Jordan as they are projected.

However, I would use a projected 4th on Charlie Kolar. He is  6'6" 255 lbs. with a big wing span, runs good routes, has good hands, and is a willing blocker.

If you want to wait until later I completely agree. I just mean rounds 1-2.

There wasn't much to offer value from there. Honestly just a bunch of JAGs that could find bench space on another team and we wouldn't miss them. 

Ertz might be worth a flier...

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
