Could this tight end be one of the 2nd round picks...

I know its been a ton of talk about different wide receivers in the draft but I think Sanders has potential  to be a stud.  Apparently there is some interest in the  Texas TE.  Tight End is and will always be the most important  position in a great offense. You have a stud Tight End and the rest of the offense becomes more dynamic. Could he be the pick at 33 or 39?  His grade is 2/3rd round with some scouts preferring him over Bowers in this class.

While I agree with your premise of an elite TE making the offense so much easier, the chances of a drafted tight end being elite are extremely low. This team has too many holes to be gambling on a 2nd round tight end. Any tight end that isn't elite can be had in free agency for cheap.

I understand  what you mean but this dude is a bona-fide weapon. Tight End has always been a young qbs beat friend outside of the run game too. I'm not saying we will draft him but I'm pretty sure it's being discussed.

Hell fuggin yes!

 

WR/TE no need to double dip at WR. Get our future WR and TE back to back. If Bryce fails our QB in 2025 is set up nicely.

Definitely  on my mind and being this is a deeper wr than te draft... the drop off from Sanders to the next tight end (Kinnot)ain't too bad but after that we would be reaching. Sanders presents a mismatch from the tight end position and since Gre has left, we definitely  feel that void.  I'd bet  late 2nd all the way to 4th round will present wr starting options.

Yeah TE wasn't even on my mind, but it definitely is now. If we can get our WR and TE out of this draft that would be great.

 

This kid has speed and YAC ability. It's about time we draft another great TE. We seen what Olsen did for Cam. A TE is a young QB's best friend.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      While I'd love to add him, it just doesn't make sense for where we are at in our re-build right now. The only teams who should be interested are those who have a very legitimate shot at winning the SB this season, as any team who makes the trade is going to be mortgaging their future to make the move. Teams who make these kinds of trades and then give them the massive contract, in the hopes that it will expedite their path to contention, ALWAYS ends up backfiring because they have to give up the 1st round picks that are then needed to help build out the rest of the roster after eating up such a significant chunk of the cap on the new contract. There is no way the Cowboys trade him for anything less than 2 future 1st rounders (and probably more), plus we'll have to make him the highest paid non QB in league history.  Not to mention that it would then have made the Scourton and/or Princely picks a bit of a waste, as those 2nd and 3rd round picks would have been better off used on a ILB or DB

      Like his approach to pre season that's ro get them out there and play together for a few plays and right about the night before and morning before.  Maybe we can come out the gate on fire I can smell the smoke from here!!   Go Panthers
