Tight Ends in 2023

Listening to Greg and watching Kelce and Goedert make big play after big play had me both reminiscing and wondering how early we target a TE in the draft or FA.  Can Tremble be that guy?  I saw a few plays this year that raised my hopes but a TE really has to earn trust and be on the field for running downs also to be the effective safety valve for championship style offenses that we saw last night.

Should we invest pick 39 in a TE or go after the TE's from Dallas or Miami?  Tremble will be on the roster but not sure who else.  Does Fitt plan on elevating Tremble or elevating a vet FA? I am assuming Thomas is gone?

Kelce lead the Chiefs in catches last night, Goedert was tied for second for the Eagles.  We need to draft a TE and probably go after a decent FA, not a pricey one though like Schultz and Gesiki.  Thomas is a lost cause and Tremble is more of H-back than a true TE.  Time for an upgrade.

It's a really awesome TE class and there's some quality receiving FAs like Shultz and Geisicke.  

Post Maher in the draft:

Kincaid & Musgrave look really interesting.  Huge upside.

Washington has a ton of potential.

Whyle & Craft have NFL careers ahead, both have a lot to like.  

Schoonmaker is reportedly liked by many scouts.  Huge mountain of a man, a bit like prime Cam Brate.

And I'm keeping my eye on the Minny and Clemson kids as well.  Some really good TE prospects.

Tremble would be a phenomenal TE2 that can run with a lot of the 12/22 personnel that Reich/Duce would probably desire. As banged up as TEs get, Tremble could also sneak in as a low-end TE1 when needed.

If we don't have to cough up 39 in a trade-up, I hope we land Musgrave/Kincaid/Kraft. 

This offense has needed a TE since Olsen left. Tremble + a TE1 would be a nice return to the Olsen/Shockey production.

Very deep exciting TE class. Shouldn't have a problem getting one if we want one

Yep.  TE & RB have two of the deepest class at their positions I've seen in a very long time.  

WR might be a bit of a mixed bag, but good overall year to want some weapons.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
