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

I keep hearing Ben Sinnott's name. Wouldn't be shocked to see him taken with 39. Apparently teams are a lot higher on him than the media realizes.

If we take a TE before round 4, Morgan needs to be fired.   This TE class sucks.  Value only comes into play on day 3.  Yes, I realize Brock Bowers is in the draft class, but he's a unicorn.

Definitely  tested well and blocks and catches. I could see him or Sanders turning into Kittle.

Brock is legit but multiple reports have Sanders testing well and showing massive upside. Him and Kinnot rind me of Kittle coming out and wouldn't be surprised  that he  turns out ok. A bunch of times the Texas oline was leaking and he learned to stop on routes early and when the qb would scramble, he'd make himself available. Working your way back to the qb is a skillset that's needed. I wouldn't be opposed but could see multiple scenarios  in  round 2. I could see  olb and center being bpa possibly but we definitely  have to get pretty weapons on offense.

I'll pass.  We've had enough 'meh' TEs around here lately.  If we take one, it had better be later on.  There's too many more solid position groups to pick from before taking a stab at a weak, VERY weak, TE group.   Again, day 3 guys are flyer picks, so try one there.  WR, CB, OL and Edge are deeper and would make MUCH more sense than reaching for TE before day 3.

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.

 Name Sam La Porta ring a bell…

It's crazy  you mentioned him because  I had read an article  about Bowers and Sanders watching tape on La Porta and a bunch of the same pros an cons match up.

Listening to NFL Radio on Sirus this morning was s interesting 

Charlie Weiss and the other commentators talking about the WRs and some  TEs came up

Weiss  said the following

 1  almost all pro offense run  3 wr sets most of the time

2  that means the TE becomes tremendously important 

3  because  almost   all offense is inside out not outside in 

4  he absolutely loves Ladd   True slot wr   Said he is a star  …great route  runner  does not drop the ball …always open 

5  he does not have  leggett as first rd  thinks he is a good player  didnt say much about him  said he has watched him as he got his masters from South Carolina so he watches the gamecocks play 

Lot more but id not be surprised on a TE earlier than the Huddle’s masses think

I like him if he is in the 3rd round. Not in the 2nd unless we trading down to the back end....

Agreed. If after this draft we’ve taken a TE in the 2nd and last year was our WR in the 2nd, it will prove we haven’t learned anything.

Last year was the draft to go TE in the 2nd and this year is the draft to go WR in the 2nd.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
