#1 wr on a 5 and 7 win team

 

why is he your benchmark?

Because DJ would be drafted in the 2018 1st round again based on his production so far.

As someone who played TE in college it is much easier to get open as a TE than it is as a WR.

 

You shouldn't be comparing TE's to WR's as they are completely different positions. TE's don't get jammed like WR's do on a consistent basis. TE are facing slower LB's. It's so easy for TE's to find a zone in a defense.

 

It's why the position is becoming more of a threat to a offense. Im glad these guys are getting more attention as they can become huge threats to any offense.

I don't disagree that finding holes in zones may be easier for TEs. Still, how many teams have tight ends as their leading receivers? Looks like just KC and Baltimore.

I’d rather sign Geseki in FA

No trade up.

 

We can get our TE at #39 the kid from Georgia Darnell Washington. Dude can block and he was underutilized because of his teammate Brock.

Dalton Kincaid from Utah is better than Both.

Washington is gonna be an extra OT that maybe catches a first down or TD a couple times a year. Kincaid isn't gonna block. Both are more like a why not take them in the 3rd if they're sitting there kinda guys. I'd go DE or Josh Downs/Jalin Hyatt. There is a decent chance our dumbass Rhule/Mcadoo  combo had no idea how to use Tremble or Ricci, and wasted reps of Thomas/Sullivan for that stupid 4 TE rotation

Ian Thomas is already that big mf from Georgia

Ian Thomas and Darnell Washington are nothing alike...

So what I'm getting here is that :

 

Getting a Tight-End should be the play with our 2nd Pick?

It’s shaping up to be a very good TE draft but certain teams and peeps don’t value them highly. We’ll see. I guess it will Al depend on our new HC and scheme. 

A guy to keep tabs on is Schoonmaker as a late 2nd to 3rd rounder. He’s got skills.

[CPcavedweller]

Jalyn Hyatt of Tennessee or an elite tight end. We need to get a true third receiver who can break the top off of a defense and/or a tight end who can command attention of safeties.

Mayers production in college was remarkable.  He is probably the safest pick in the draft.  He is going to be really good.  This offense would be so much better with him IMO

I know the trade here won't happen, but...... If we could work our way up to #5 and grab a QB.....

Free Agency:  Find a bridge QB, TE, and resign Boz/Foreman, and a veteran DT.

We need a DE, CB, and LB depth out of this draft.  If Williams is healthy he can compete for the #2-3 CB.  Move Chinn back to OLB.  Start the T'oo T'oo train.  Joseph is a heady safety, Tippmann is the perfect IOL for us.  Can play center, but also 6'6 315lbs, can play G or RT as well. Having him and Mayes provides great depth at the interior.  Schoonmaker is a perfect blocking TE, but I would also throw a bag at either Irv Smith Jr. or Gilseki during free agency.  Cut Ian Thomas and Eflin.  The rest of our picks provide quality depth.  McIntosh could be a legit homerun threat at RB.

Same thing was said about Pitts - Falcons are already regretting taking him so high

Has Pitts been that bad?
