I've been wanting it for about as long, was shocked they didnt get one for by as a rookie...  Pitts and Godert are FA haven't even looked at the draft yet

Godert was my draft crush year 1 of the new TE search.  He's in his 8th year, is he not?  Olsen was coming off back-to-back foot surgeries.   I knew he was cooked, which was unfortunate and sad.  We've been looking ever since.  We had the man, the myth, the legend Ian Thomas....pffft, okay, dude was horrible and this team could not shake him like a bad case of VD.  I never understood how he kept a roster spot year after year after year, yet was our #1 TE most of that time.

Godert is 31 but has no major injuries and honestly is underutilized in Philly, because Hurts will just completely ignore him for 5 weeks at a time....  hes still got it though 11 tds this year.  PITTS actually produced this year with a 1k season and career high 4 tds 🤣

Neither will be cheap. I've never been a Pitts fan and we have a horrible track record with Falcons FAs.  He's the perfect example why RAS is a bullsh1t metric. If RAS actually projected future production, Pitts should be the top TE in the League, but he's not...not even close.

TEs aren't really budget breakers Godert made 10m last year, could deff afford him and would likely be a 3 year contract, i feel the same mostly about Pitts but with sunday ticket this year and how the season ended I watched a lot more Falcons games than I normally would.... he definitely progressed a lot (was super raw coming in like you said ras underwear warrior)  Goddert is on the top of my wish list.

This guy has literally some of the worst takes on this forum, ignore his stupidity he may coach flag football but he certainly doesnt understand ball past an 8 year olds level.

Lol you always bring up my username. It's not that deep my guy. I made it years ago sort of as a joke and it can't be changed. But unless you've played D1 football or the NFL, I would bet my life savings I've played at a higher level than you. Yes, I coach HS flag for fun because I love the game of football and there was a need at the school I work at, but I've been a grad assistant and HS varsity coach as well. You'd be surprised how competitive and strategic 7v7 flag is though at the 5A varsity level. I def don't coach 8 year olds.

😂😂😂😂 your takes have managed to get worse not better lol, News flash 4-7th round draft picks USUALLY DO NOT HAVE HIGH CEILINGS even the ones who turn into all pros have obvious flaws ie Josh Norman 4.7 40....

Any late round pick who contributes at all can't be considered a "huge blunder" lmfao stick to flag football, NFL ball definitely isnt your speed.

I said their plays were blunders, not the players themselves.. Learn how to read. I think Etienne can be a solid potential #2 back, but I blame Canales for putting Etienne back there to return punts though. He's struggled all season fielding punts. He's not a natural catcher. Plus, if Dan Morgan didn't have so many misses in previous drafts, there's a high chance we're not having to rely on a player like Jimmy Horn to make a crucial catch in a playoff game.

Nah I'll wait because I know 100% i NEVER said he would have a big season, I said righting off a rookie is stupid and you were calling for cutting him I also said not taking Ladd Was THE MISTAKE , with Legette all I said was wait and see. He managed to regress to full retard now would be a good time to call for cutting him.

And it was your own thread dude all you have to do is click your profile and threads started by you 🧐

Just checked. I started an XL thread about his drop %, but the interaction you are referring to is not a thread I started. I just remember being critical of XL, and you defended him like he was your first born son. Funny stuff. Turns out I was correct. Btw I would never say to cut a 1st round WR after one season. You just make shiit up. Going forward though, I want nothing to do with you. Please don't respond to me and I'll do the same to you. Take care, Christopher! 🙂

As a matter of fact I was a 3* recruit to ECU (never played in game due to horrid compound ankle fracture as a freshman that i never fully recovered from)  prior to that I was a two time all state S in HS and had offers to play at Duke, Marshall and Miami (OH)

 

Oh and the dumbass who just got fired as Tampas offensive coordinator was a unfortunately the QB my senior year of HS NOTE he still can't read a defense any better than he could then 🤣

    • Hornets shooting has definitely cooled off to end the season 
    • Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s.  Either that or Kon straight-up.
    • I love the bottom feeding approach.  Not to say I was the only one, but I was screaming to draft Coker and then screaming to get him in here as an UDFA.  There were criticisms about him, etc.  As a Gamecock baby (Dad was a Tight End for them when I was born) I was against Legette.  I wanted the kid from Georgia.   All that to say this:  I am afraid of drafting a WR (I spent some time today researching) a few of the top names: 1. Jordan Tyson.  MCL, ACL, NHL---he has injured everything he could that ends in "L" and some things not related to his body.  He will drop, and everyone will start getting excited around 15.   NO! take him off the board. 2. KC Concepcion.  I want to like him, but is he not John Metchie III II?  I can't stand drops. To me, the most important characteristic for a receiver is hands.  I do not buy the "He can be taught."  I disagree to a degree.  Catching a football at a high level when you are being hit by someone behind you as you run full speed across the field is more about concentration and focus than anything else. You gotta trust your eyes, your instincts, and your QB.  Hard to teach someone not to fear something that hits you that you cannot see.  Dropping passes gets into your head--that makes you second guess yourself.  if it doesn't, it should.  Either way, it is a mental issue.   3. Omar Cooper.  I like him enough, but at 19? No.  He is a good YAC guy with solid hands.  However, he had a good WR across from him, the best QB in the country, a pretty easy schedule (He had his best games against FCS schools) and I wonder how much of the route tree he ran.  I am torn, not sold.  Of the three just mentioned, he has the worst skillset but I would like him the best as our Z. Who then, do I want, you ask? If it has to be WR, trade back.  If you can't, draft the slow guy who can't get a good release.  1.  Denzel Boston.   If it has to be a WR at 19, I think I would take Denzel Boston.  His biggest criticism is the release (and 40 speed) but he had great hands and runs good routes. as the Z, which is what we need, he would be perfect because he could motion toward the LOS and even when on the LOS, he is off the ball.  Lets do some bottom fishing in Coker Lake: Round 2: Ted Hurst.  He is a model Z WR for this offense.  Drops too many balls to my liking, but as a second rounder, I can tolerate that a bit more than a first rounder.  Round 5: Kendrick Law (UK):  This is the guy I am most comfortable drafting.  His average route at KY was under 4 yards.  He is great at running after the catch.  Stats? don't look at the game stats--look at the measurables. A 42-inch vertical, a 10-foot-8 broad jump, and a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score place him among the most explosive receivers in this class. That kind of lower-body power, paired with his balance through contact and proven ability to generate yards after the catch, gives him a real foundation to develop beyond what Kentucky asked of him. I think they were considering drafting a WR in the first round.  I get it, but as with the tackles in round 1, "Buyer Beware."  I have not given up on XL but I am very concerned that his mind is not right for the NFL.
