Do we need another tight end?

Shockey is still productive but getting older and while I loved the Olsen acquisition I still feel as if there is more to be done. Most of everyone on the Huddle seems to love Bardinage and while I'm also excited to see him in the new system I think we need a star TE and if the opportunity presents itself we should act. TE's like Graham, Davis and Gronk are all MAJOR parts of their respected offenses. Now before this get's GIF approved please hear me out. Let's say we take a DE/OLB & a CB in the first and second round. Barring a trade that leaves us without a 3rd and onto our 4th. Now I've been watching Ladarius Green for quite sometime now and he has major potential. As of right now he's projected to go between round 4-6 but is likely to slip due to him being undersized 6-6 237. This dude is a play maker, matchup nightmare and is very fast for his size. Now the question is if he is there in the 4th/5th/6th do we pull the trigger?

I like where we're at at TE. Olsen isn't going to be a super star but he holds it down when he's in. If we resign Shockey he's adds so much to our offense , he's got fire, and leadership and he's a solid player. I'm happy with the two of them.

Don't think we need another TE. Shockey's still got some years left. Barnidge played well when given the chance. Give it at least 1 more year, then after next season if Shockey is done and Barnidge doesn't show that he can be a good #2 TE we can look at TEs in the next draft.

Gary barnidge is still on the team plus he just got extended. Don't be surprised if we don't re-sign shockey

I got the sense they might not sign him either. Honestly I think that would be a mistake. Shockey is twice the blocker that either Barnidge or Olsen is at this point and is a real tough presence in the locker room. If we are going to build an aggressive offense, then Shockey is perfect in that role.

Funny. I never thought I would be defending Shockey before this year.

I thought Gary showed some promise. I love the co-canes as our primary te's but I would love another playmaker. I thought we should have gotten te's in every draft for the past 9 years. Hmmmm... Odd how long was fox here again? Oh yea.... 9 fuggin tight endless years!!!!!!

barnidge has done less in his first four years than dwayne jarrett

yeah im sure with a different playbook he'll be a probowler and stuff

as a te yes but as a ST'er Barnidge is fantastic

yes I know that isn't relevant to the "do we need a TE" question lol, just saying. Barnidge shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as jarrett.

seeing guys like Gronkowski, Graham, etc completely dominate means if a good TE fell to us, absolutely yes I'd take one.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
