The TEs are who I thought they would be.

The problem is Rhule/Fitt and their attempt to force a square peg into a round hole with Thomas.

This team would have Hunter Henry, Dan Arnold, and Jelani Woods at TE right now (Also, Andrew Booth CB and Desmond Ridder) if I got my way in the draft. Instead, we got Vernon Butler, CJ Henderson, Tommy Tremble and Sam Darnold while wasting space and time with Thomas and Sullivan.

The moves for this team have been disappointing.

Not the root cause but our TE room is not good. Tremble is a fullback playing TE. Ricci  is a decent blocker that gets open because nobody covers him, and Ian Thomas is well below average. 

This franchise has usually always done well in the TE group. Walls, Mangum, Olsen, Dickson. 

I would rather have King, Rosario, or Barnidge than these guys.

Don’t mention Kris Mangums name with these clowns

Couldn't really say much about blocking but all I remember about Mangum was him bobbling the few touchdowns he caught. Then again, Henning was pretty much the anti-McAdoo and kept forgetting that tight ends were legally allowed to catch a ball.

I looked real hard...there must be a typo because Ian Thomas is not listed as a top 32 TE.  Wait, there are 32 teams but the Panthers don't have a player listed?  That can't be correct.  Pfffft...lol, I've been saying our TE room is a joke.  Here is 11-32, no need to do the top 10 because we know Thomas isn't there.  Some teams, like the Browns, have TWO TEs that made the list.  OUCH!

Panthers TEs absent in rankings

FYI, I was willing to draft Goedert, Andrews, Gesicki or Hurst that 2018 draft.  Beating the damn drum for Goedert, but any of them I was willing to take.  Now look at these dudes: Andrews #2, Goedert #7, Gesicki #10 and Hurst #22.  I had them ranked that draft: Goedert#1, Andrews#2, Hurst#3 and Gesicki#4.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
