I just don't see him as that type of TE. He looks more like the good starter type variety of TE. The type of guy who might go in the teens but usually goes somewhere late 1st 

I’m curious about how he’ll weigh. These guys are never as heavy as the schools say, but if he’s really 255 then he’s absurdly loose and coordinated for a dude his size. Natural ball carrier, lines up anywhere. Good blocker. Just seems useful in ways that, for example, Eric Ebron never had a shot to be. Has another dimension to him than most tight ends. Schools with two NFL-caliber backs aren’t usually anxious to put tight ends in the backfield, you know?

It may certainly be recency bias, but it feels like there have been a few really hyped up te players each year that are can't miss guys, and then they just kind of miss. Of course, even a miss would probably be better than Ian Thomas.

I don't think Abdul Carter is gonna be an option at #8. Would be thrilled with the pick if he is.

Didn't we have the thread on here a few days ago where majority of the posters were saying he's not even worthy of a top 20 pick, let alone our pick lol

      Top 5 draft targets for positions of need

      By strato · Posted

      Yep and that is why teams have different boards.     I would refine the lower valued position limitation mentioned here to the bottom quarter or third of the first round. There are a lot of really good players at these low value positions taken from right around where we pick and later. All positions I guess.  For us, some highlights  Gamble @ 28 Beason @ 25 Kelvin Benjamin and DJ Moore went late too but man I’d be fine with trading aback a little and getting a Beason level player.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By frankw · Posted

      Guys let's not lose sight of the goal here. Ironically Dave Canales buddy Pete Carroll is a good example. In his later years with the Seahawks they "made the playoffs". Never went anywhere. Pete left town with his best friend Geno Smith and immediately proceeded to faceplant. Meanwhile the Seahawks hired a new coach traded away their best WR and signed Sam Darnold and they are your Super Bowl champions. Just because we backed our way into the playoffs going winless against New Orleans and barely splitting with the imploding Bucs for a 4-6 record in the last 10 games with the 26th passing offense does not mean we should be having a parade. Dave Canales team needs to take control of the division in 2026. Simple and plain.
