Agreed. But, the cost to upgrade should be very small.

I am fine with upgrading on the cheap. I do not want to spend a day one or day two pick nor do I want to be in the Pitts FA sweepstakes.

Day 1 or Day 2 elite guy, 100% fine. Do I think that is reasonable based on the class? No.

He’s okay….but that’s still a pretty high cap number. He only had 2.5 sacks, and  was 35th in hurries. He’s good at batted passes at 3 which is 13th best but all his stats were basically down year over year. He’s still good at run defense, and I honestly think he’s a good locker room presence, and would be happy with a 1 year extension at a lower salary to level it out. I also would not be surprised if they decide they could use that 9.5 million to upgrade another position group, or use that money to help get a higher profile FA like a top tier LB, OLB, DE, or speed WR

We have more important holes to fill than to be dropping pick 19 on a TE, I would be upset.

I don't care about position. Give me BPA.

If he's a game changer like Greg Olsen was for us it’s, a great idea. I'm with you though, I think the odds are much higher that we can get an impact LT, LB, or D-Line player that would fill a much larger hole than the three man rotation we have now in the TE room.

Olsen was with Chicago 3 or 4 years and took a while to bloom. I remember wishing we could get him at 25 n 2007 but we took Beason. Couldn’t complain about that.
I would really love to get a Jon Beason level ILB this draft.

We have 4-5 other positions that could really use some 1st round talent.  I feel like there will be someone at 19 at one of those positions with talent comparable to Sadiq. 
I am not gonna argue individuals really, I have done no research. Just philosophy. Address the holes unless it just isn’t close.
