Te Coby Fleener In The Second?


Kuech Da Sneak

Recommended Posts

What do you guys think of the TE out of Stanford?

If you watched any Standford games this or last season, you know how much of a beast he is. Catches pretty much everything that comes his way.

Had a good pro day too. At 6-6, 247, he ran an average of 4.47 (Between Mayock & McShay's watches).

He has the perfect size and speed to make more than enough match up problems, and would fit perfectly in Chud's 2 TE sets.

Some say he won't even make it down to our spot in the 2nd, but if he does, do you take him? I'm in favor of it, even though we need defense.

It's hard to pass up on tall, athletic, proven TEs.

I think Fleener will be a good TE in the league, but we cant use a top pick on a TE. We have too many positions that we don't have starting level talent. Since this team can't afford/refuses to get starter through FA, we have to get a starter with our first 2 picks.

I've actually been thinking for a couple weeks we might pull the trigger on Fleener if he there in the 2nd. Seems like a luxury pick, but Chud loves to utilize TE's and having two weapons like Fleener and Olsen to go along with our other weapons would terrify defensive coordinators. Rather go defense in the 2nd though.

If he is available at our pick in the 2nd that would be stunning. It really is a luxury pick, adding a weapon to an offense that's projected to be one of the best. I like his size and speed, he really could be an amazing pickup.

However I don't think he will be there. Plenty of teams between 9th and 40th picks could use a guy like him. How about an Andrew Luck reunion in Indy?

I'm 50/50 on it. If he's there I think you take him because he could be a star for the next 10 years. To do that you would need to ignore all of our deficiencies on defense for another season.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
