I like Kincaid the best if we’re looking for a pass catcher. Washington is the best blocker.

We already have primarily blocking TEs on the roster. We need a pass catcher. I agree Kincaid is likely the best at it. Mayer and Laporta are good at both. I need to see more of Kraft.

Imo people are greatly exaggerating the need for a tight end. Don't get me wrong we obviously need one, and an explosive pass catching one would be awesome to have. But there are what, five of those in the league? Plenty of teams just have bodies at tight end and still produce plenty. Every one is locking us into one at 39. If that is the best player on the board at that pick then obviously it's fine, but don't need to force it. This team just needs weapons in general. If there's a WR you like better at that slot it would be a fine pick also.

You have to like Washington's size which makes him a huge target. I would have no problem taking him at 39. Learning to run downfield 10 yards and turning around to catch a ball isn't exactly hard to master. And let's be honest with his size and speed if he gets loose in the secondary he is gone. Then again I like some of the other guys as well.

You could have just said "maybe".

Ask me after the draft.  

This.

 

Idk that I’d hate it. He’s one of the few prospects I’d actually like watching in workouts tho to get a better feel for his pass catching. He’s obviously huge, solid athlete and made some impressive catches. But his low productivity raises some questions and I don’t think you can blame it on the offense

This class is loaded with TE talent.  Kincaid has the look of a superstar IMO.  Mayer is a very solid player as well.  The class is full of good ones but those 2 stand out.  Washington is good but was massively overshadowed by Bowers who looks special on another level

His "lack of production" was because he primarily was used as a blocking TE and 2 other TEs on the team were used for receiving instead.  Still leaves a question mark. (Those other TEs will be beasts in the NFL when they come out).

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
