Thanks!

I wonder if Jake Butt is worth taking a flyer on, if he's still there. I'd prefer Kittle, if we go tight end, but I'm making the assumption he won't be there.

Before the injury, he (Butt) was projected as a early day 2 selection. He slid to the Broncos in the 5th.

Nevermind. The butthead Broncos just took Butt...

Did the Jets really need another TE? Leggett was the last one worth taking, as far as I'm concerned, after Butt and Kittle went off the board. Looks like we're going to have to deal with Fleener as our #1 TE for at least another year.

We were going to have to deal with Fleener being #1 anyway, 12 million cap hit doesn't sit on the bench... Rather 7.5 cap hit; 12 million in dead money

I didn't say he was going to sit the bench. The Saints use multiple tight ends a fair amount. But regardless of what Fleener makes, that doesn't give him the right to start. The Saints made a mistake signing him, and if they had drafted a tight end who would have come in and outplayed Fleener, then you go with the better player. Fleener becomes an expensive backup, but so be it. How many teams break the bank for a quarterback in free agency, and then they have to bench him a few weeks into the season? You can't be held hostage by a price tag.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
