Why no FA TE yet???

Unless you can land a legit difference making TE, it's not a good position to spend decent FA money on or you end up with situations just like Hurst

While I was cautiously optimistic about Hurst, his track record as a former first round pick was underwhelming.  Usually first rounders that bounce around so much are because they haven't lived up to their 'potential' and the next team tries to unlock it.  I think most people thought he would be better than Ian Thomas and while true, not much.

The solution is not to throw in the towel and roll with these guys.  Yes, we need to draft a TE, but we aren't getting Bowers outside of a massive trade up, the rest of the class is no where close to day 1 ready.  There are a few TEs remaining in FA that are better than what we have...not a whole lot, but better.

Too slow on the draw.  While other teams were gobbling up TES the first day of FA, we were signing guards.  The pickings are very slim now.

G > TE

In our case, absolutely.  However, people can't complain when we chose to stand on the sidelines as the there's a fire sale at another position and we didn't prioritize TE.  Now that the shelf is bare, folks are asking why we aren't signing a TE.  Because what's left isn't much better than what we already have.

I’d take Uzomah, tremble and a rookie. Still time to cut Ian Thomas. Uzomah isn’t flashy but he is a good tight end. Jets let him go because they had given him a fat contract and also signed Conklin. Grab 2 WRs in the draft to go w DJ and AT and we are cooking.
