Re: Saints tight end outlook: A long way from Jimmy Graham's heyday, what's next at TE spot?
I’m really not opposed to drafting Dallas Goedert in the first round if he’s still on the board.

Thought that Fujita and Shanle did more and got less credit, more criticism than they deserved... Totally agree we need that QB in the middle of the defense; and if we're using a first round pick, I want a Luke Kuechly-type... |

Getting back to TE Dallas Goedert; most pre-draft rankings have him in the 40-60 range, and we have no picks there...
Unless... |

Re: Saints tight end outlook: A long way from Jimmy Graham's heyday, what's next at TE spot?
He has a ton of work to do. Alex hasn't made it through a full season of football since he was in high school. He also had a season ending every year since he became a starter at Florida ... same thing happened as a Saint in his rookie year.
We can't afford to go through another season being limited at the position. I hope he gets it together (stay healthy) but I don't see him as the answer. |

I agree with 76 ... this team needs to continue to look for the next Vilma in the middle. Sorry, I didn't mean to hi jack your original TE thread with the linebacker talk. |
