Good point. Not sure rookie TEs make that much but it doesn’t matter. People talk about cap being a myth but I don’t see us doling out these monster FA deals. Doing smart drafting and value FAs can allow you to make that one or two extra FA splashes when you need that one or two guys to be a SB contender. Smart drafting is knowing the strengths of the drafts which can also lead you to getting better value for your picks like getting a WR in the 2nd that might have gone in the 1st another less deep year. That also saves cap based on the rookie contract scale.

With a loaded draft class the free agency tight ends may have some bargains. 

I think the Cowboys hold onto Dalton Shultz.  Engram has delusions of grandeur that will keep him from signing a mid tier cheap contract. 

But there are options. 

1. Gesicki was one of my favorite prospects in recent drafts and hoped we would draft him. We could try and sign him. 

2. Hayden Hurst could come right in and be the number 1 TE and give some vet leadership to Tremble. This combo would be solid all around blocking and receiving. 

3.  OJ Howard was supposed to be some kinda blocking beast out of college and never lived up to his draft position but with some coaching could he?

4. Foster Moruoe. Excuse me I misspelled his last name that Louisianan stuff is tricky. With Darren Waller around he never had much of a shot for targets. He could be cheap and believe or not productive for us. 

No need to draft a tight end it's a luxury pick we can't afford.

      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

      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.
