You can add the TE we seek but opposing defenses still have to believe the QB can deliver him the ball at a high level particularly over the middle which is where the really good TE's thrive and that hasn't exactly been an area of the field our passing O has thrown to at a high % the last 3 years we've had a whole thread on that already. You can bet opposing defenses with nearly 50 games of tape will certainly be licking their chops waiting to see us try.

I think Bryce's first pick was over the middle. I wondered then about his ability to see the field in that area.

Most of the best TE come from  rn 5 or so..

NOT many good 1st rd TE you can find them later in the draft.

Some teams don't value TE 

If you want a receiving threat just get a WR. This team needs speed and shiftiness not another big body just my view on the position..

Unfortunately that is one area where his abilities are hindered without a doubt. That being said we have had issues with drops. But I don't think we are or were anywhere near the top of the league in that aspect.

Overall I would be happy if we added another legit receiving TE but I would be of the opinion that his full potential will be squandered until we have a starting QB with the necessary physical tools. Just a matter of accepting the reality staring back at us.

Tremble is in the last year of his contract.  We can keep, cut or trade him.  Time to move on from another Rhule guy.  Besides Chuba and BC, that will leave only the first round guys during that era.  That I can handle because yo are supposed to hit on first rounders.

Panthers don't target TEs because they can't get open.  Sanders is the only one that can regularly get open and he drops the ball regularly and isn't a great blocker.  Tremble is the best TE and he likely wouldn't start for most teams.

I think the moves they've made this offseason is to allow someone like Sadiq to be considered at 19. That's not to say he's #1 on their board, but I absolutely think he's in the conversation. 

It's a gamble to go TE in R1, but Sadiq is an intriguing prospect. I've seen McBride and Davis comps, which is some pretty good company. Sadiq had a 43+" VJ and 11'+ BJ w/ a sub-4.4 40 time. 

What I do appreciate w/ Sadiq is he's not just a receiving threat. He loves to block and is very physical in that arena. To have a quick, explosive TE w/ dependable hands that's not afraid to block is nice. His YAC and redzone efficiency is solid too. 

I get the logic if we do go this route, but other prospects would have to be off the board for me to want him.

Build the best roster we can and if Bryce continues to be a weak link continue building that roster by replacing him. Bringing Pickett was a real disappointment. Felt like we gave him $7.5M just so that we could pretend he's a quality backup. Well, he must be since we're paying him like one.

If we were a consistently competently run franchise yes. Unfortunately we are a franchise run by the Tepper's and you just can't put it past anyone involved not to give Bryce Young an extension for playing just mediocre enough to be carried to wins that he did virtually no heavy lifting in.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
