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.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
