Did we release Thomas (or are you guessing?).

Ever get deja vu?

Oh I was just guessing. With Hurst, Tremble, and possibly a rookie he seemed expendable. However his contract is probably going to prevent that. I’m not sure we draft one now. That TE room would be pretty crowded…

He’s going to have to with the way Reich likes to use his tight ends

I really preferred Gesicki due to how much Reich utilizes his tight ends. Neither guy is a great blocker so yeah 

Obviously this is a massive upgrade from what we have but the bar was literally laying on the floor

I just like how he came on down the stretch last year. Burrow was going to him often. He never got to the level I thought he'd get to coming out of college but he's at least a threat to catch balls.  Reich should be able to get even more out of him.

I agree. Unlike Thomas he’ll take on contact and actually get to the line to gain. That much was obvious from his time in Cincy

If we draft one, I'm not sure it will be with an early pick now.  QB at 1 and probably WR at 39.  Third will probably look at defense.  We will probably add RB/OL depth in the 4/5 rounds.  It looks like Thomas is stuck on our roster due to his dumb contract so it's Hurst, Tremble, Thomas as the main TEs.  Maybe Reich and co can have Thomas and Tremble looking better?  

There will be a good one at the end of the third--

      He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes

      Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
