We blaming TE’s now?

Tremble and Thomas are second stringers at best. It’s the worst group of TEs the team has ever had, including Kris Mangum. 

Don’t mention Kris Mangums name with these clowns

this man will make our TE's great. Ask Darren Waller

If they insist on targeting TE’s, give Ricci more looks. 
 

He catches the ball and moves well after the catch. 
 

Get the ball to guys who don’t hurt the team.

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.

People forget how good of a blocker Mangum was. He didn’t get dozens of targets but he caught what was thrown to him.

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.

And YES, I'm willing to trade down to draft Michael Mayer unless we have a top 3 pick.  His floor is Andrews/Goedert and his ceiling is Gronk.
