No he’s not. Look at this actual production. Is he getting anywhere near 90 targets with us?

Kmet’s career is 288-2939 and 21 TDs on 399 targets.

Tremble (the definition of meh) has 112-1031 and 11 TDs on 168 targets.

Prorated to 399 targets, Tremble has 266-2448 and 26 TDs. Kmet isn’t making us much better at all. We just don’t use TEs that much and we don’t throw the ball overall as much. Kmet isn’t Greg Olsen.

Do we not use TEs much by design or do we just not have any TEs justifying heavy TE usage in the passing game?

I think it’s more by design. Run first offenses likely block more at TE but right now the WRs we have are just better than our TEs. Kmet is not Olsen, so he’d more than likely just slide into the targets we already don’t have much of right now.

Young threw for 3011 yards. While it was 21st, it was dead last among players that started all year. The guys behind him are rookies who didn’t start all year or guys who were injured or guys who took over for an injured starter. When your team throws it less than any other team, Kmet is a waste of time and money unless he’s an amazing blocker.

Tmac and Coker should dominate targets and XL/TEs/RBs split up the rest. We shouldn’t spend a high pick on a TE or spend a lot of FA $$$s.

Are we run first by design or are we run first because our QB is limited?

These are rhetorical questions, but our offensive roster kinda forces us to play certain ways.

Yeah I agree with TE being a low priority. And WR should be as well. IOW no reason to invest another high pick in a pass catcher.

What is the point when we have games where we only throw it 20 times? It isn’t like there is the volume of targets to justify that. 

We should try and find a complimentary speed guy without making a major investment. We could use one of those. 

If anything, I would argue any pass catching we do chase should be from the RB position. That,  we could get a lot of use out of. At least going off the last three years.
