I do remember the secondary led by Sharper creating a lot of turnovers... |

Re: Saints tight end outlook: A long way from Jimmy Graham's heyday, what's next at TE spot?
He’s going late first round to early second. If we are lucky, we could trade back a few spots and still grab him. Honestly I wouldn’t be upset if we snagged him at 28. Think he’s our Olsen or ertz

Re: Saints tight end outlook: A long way from Jimmy Graham's heyday, what's next at TE spot?
Anyways, Free Agent pickings at Tight End are slim this year...
I'm not as concerned about this position as others may be as we had an outstanding offense with the group we had... However, I do believe we should draft or sign a big bodied TE who can post up in the red zone and on third downs and prefer that over drafting a WR high in the draft where our priorities should be the defensive front seven... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Our blocking is fine. |

Re: Saints tight end outlook: A long way from Jimmy Graham's heyday, what's next at TE spot?
We need to draft DE, LB, OL more than TE. Brees only has a short amount of time remaining. JG may be 31 but is still a great option because of that. B. Watson was older and had a better season than any TE we currently have. Someone will likely overpay so it's a moot point and we may just stick with Fleener.
