Tired of wasting picks on TE's...damn no in first round.

Yeah I think im targeting a developed one in FA sure it's more expensive. But I'd rather spend a mid round pick on the trenches and an early pick on a more premium position

Right..and for speed wr too I'd rather bring in a vet to help immediately than wait and see on a rookie

I don't get this love affair with the tight end from Oregon. Get an OT or LB or Pass rusher.  Nothing else really makes sense where we're going to be picking 

We already have solid TEs and Sadiq isn't some generational TE prospect. Even if he was, there's a decent change for him being not successful  or being mid at best (See Kyle Pitts, OJ Howard).

Personal feelings aside, I really don’t think this coaching staff and FO values TE high enough to take one in the 1st rd. That, and I think we are fine with the 3 we have for what we ask them to do. I don’t think Styles makes it to our pick either. So if I had to guess right now, I would guess OT might be the best combo of value and need at our pick. There will be a few off the board before we pick, but there should still be some value there.

Question to those that know CFB. Styles seems talented but doesn’t seem like an MLB. Seems a lot more like a Luvu than a Kuechly. 
Is he an ILB or OLB in a 3-4? If we draft him, I’d think we still need a traditional mlb-type either via draft for FA. 

He's basically Thomas Davis, but bigger.  But yeah, he's closer to Luvu than Kuechly.  I would say he would be better as a OLB.  It won't matter because Dallas is zeroing in on him to replace Parsons. Unless he gets injured or tests out horribly, he ain't lasting to #19.  I've stopped mocking him because it's fool's gold to think we can land him at our draft slot.

      He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes

      Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
