The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

[PleaseCutStewart]

With the many needs we have on defense, I'm against TE unless some brock bowers freak talent is there to draft

The Oregon TE is probably the best candidate.

I rather doubt he will be available at our pick.

I don't think he is anywhere close to Bowers talent. Then again, Bowers is one of the best TEs ever to come out in the draft.

Haven't looked at the TEs in this class, but I say just roll with what we got for next year. Get the defense fixed between edge rusher, edge setter DE, linebacker, and cover specialist free safety

Oregon TE is probably a better blocker on day 1 than Bowers was. Possibly a better athlete(TBD).

But, we have seen those types not flourish before.

I'm always worried about Oregon skill position players because of the gimmicky offenses they run.

I haven't watched much of Oregon this year, but I honestly can't think of any Oregon TEs they have been successful in the NFL. All I know is that we had some mediocre at best ones on our team like Ed Dickson and Dante Rosario in the 2000s...

Lol. I mean 95+% of college offenses are gimmicky.
