We Have to go QB rd 1 and we all know we will go that direction.

but we really need to help the young guy.

 

One thing that’s a QBs best friend is a Solid TE.  We payed Ian Thomas, but that guy would be a TE 2 or 3 in any other roster.

Washington is a Massive human being and a good athlete.  He’s a Mauler as a blocker and a good enough receiver.  Having him and Tremble in 2TE sets is a dream, almost like Baltimore.

I love Darnell, and he's moving up draft boards.  The kid over at Notre Dame is the concensus best TE on their boards, with grades in the teens (where Greg was drafted).

They say he is hall of fame material, been called baby Gronk since high school.  I run the draft mock machine at fanspeak about 30 times a day while working, and when I can get the ND kid (Mike Mayer) I've been taking him with the first pick of the second, turning down good offers for trade backs.

Darnell is always available on those big boards, and it would not be unheard of if both TEs went in the first before our 2nd pick.  Teams in the late 20s in the draft would see valuable versatile pass catcher still there at that point will take him.

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
