You're looking at the top guys:

Dalton Kincaid

Michael Mayfer

Luke Mugrave

Darnell Washington

-----------------------------------

Lower tier (big drop off in talent)

Sam Laporta

Tucker Kraft

You want one of the guys in the upper tier, and that means we need to spend at least a 3rd round pick. The will be gone in the 4th imo.

The bold is where I see these guys going.  IMO, we GOT to get one of these guys before the 4th.

I still close my eyes and can remember what Chud did with Shockey and Olsen. Let's make it happen.

Preach it man, I still don't understand why some teams *cough* Panthers *cough* don't value/no longer value the TE position.  Even still, outside of a select team or two--Ravens come to mind, teams don't even bother to invest in a solid #2.

Olsen and Shockey were a stud duo!

Fitterer definitely spoke glowingly about Ian Thomas and his 20mph GPS speed and thought he was getting a steal of a deal with that "mid-level" contract.

Scot just suffers from massive PTSD from Hurney that leads to defending anything and everything any other GM does. LOL!

I've read the actual behind the scenes stories.

They make it pretty clear there's a difference between the public face and the private happenings.

Many are sleeping on Sam Laporta imo. He’s my 3rd favorite TE in this class behind Mayer and Kincaid.

Ideally, imo, we draft a QB with the first and pick up one of these TE with the second. Then we can spend the rest of the draft on defense. I don't care. At that point I'd consider the draft a success.

Oh, @Rayzor1...

fuging Mccadoo and rhule too....... It was awful then and worse now.......I do get the TE market jumped levels, doesnt mean you should reward a "never-was" with some 3 year 21 million type of deal....... 

I do wonder how the total new and legit NFL staff view Thomas......I bet we will see at some point in the off-season. 

I believe the whole group wants one of out of the top 5 FA TEs........if daley and little had a market, maybe thomas does.....but I got grave doubts...

Only because they had no real plans to use the TE they paid for.

Here is how I see it---draft players that are expensive--QBs, for example.  In free agency, sign the players that are not that expensive.

That way, at expensive positions you have a percentage of players on rookie deals, and you are not overpaying for veterans.

If QBs are $40m and I can have one on the roster for an average of $8m over 5 years, then it is better than having a rookie TE for 5 years at an average salary of $7m when the TE vets make $12m.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
