Don't we need a backup TE?
 
I'm just thinking we need some one solid behind Graham cracker crunch. Jumbo packages, any 2 TE sets, ect...:peace:

Yeah, I've been mentioning it as one of our needs in a few different threads. That is definitely a position that needs some attention.

We've been looking. Those blocking TE's aren't too hard to find... no rush. There's also a lot of nice TE prospects that can be had in the later rounds of the draft.

I'm even thinking we can pick up an undrafted guy for the cheap.

It looks like a buyer's market in many positions this year. Shouldn't be a problem finding one. I think a good LT could be a bit more pressing of a need and a bit harder to acquire.

Higgins! I've always liked what I've seen from him

I am slightly worried about Graham's ability to stay healthy especially if we have no depth here. We need a guy who can be a receiving threat and we need to improve blocking at this position. Kevin Boss would be a nice target for both aspects.

They are looking at Kellen Davis formerly of the Jets

traditional TE solid blocker good hands and so so speed.
Prime time TE in the draft that can do both
Round 3-4
Vance McDonald, TE, Rice
Travis Kelce, TE, Cincinnati
Nick Kasa, TE, Colorado

Better blockers
Dion Sims*, TE, Michigan State

Now my fav.
Round 5-7
Michael Williams, TE, Alabama
6506 269 5.15 (?)
Under estimated receiver IMO but is without a doubt one of the best blockers in the draft. To bad he did put on a few pounds and played OT. he would go a lot higher in the draft. I see tackle eligible written all over him. If he is there in the 6th he easily could turn into on of the biggest steals of the draft. one of the few 6th rounders i would try to sign for 4 years. lock him in cheap

What ever Happen to K2. Never liked him. Last I heard he was with the Pats.

Boss would be a great pick up. Let's go get him.
