Makes me wonder what he'd give to have CMC back... or does he prefer a more smash-mouth type runner?

Staley will likely hold down the RBs, and Reich is about wearing down a defense with bigger skill position players that have good hands in the passing game. RBs get as many targets as the TEs. Seems Thomas Brown was hired because he understands the TE position and how Reich wants to get the most out of the TEs in the offensive play calling. Expecting an overhaul of the TE position. Maybe a trade for Jelani Woods. Good possibility of seeing 2 TEs drafted. TEs will have size, speed, and good hands. Makes me wonder how well Thomas Brown knows Darnell Washington - possible 2nd round TE target given what Reich likes in his receivers.

I think TE is bookmarked for that first 2nd round selection….if not perhaps moving up early 2nd. 
 

A Musgrave/Kincaid + Tremble at TE2 would be a menacing duo.

There are a load of excellent TEs in this class. I've even said I wouldn't hate taking one in the 1st round if he was still the BPA at 9 or even trade back a few spots to do so.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
