Draft one.

Think we draft a good blocking TE. Emergency check down that can grade the path for Kamara.

Make sure he's a Kid from GA Tech so we can be "ALL ABUZZ" about him!

a lot of guys in that middle 2nd- to 3rd range.
Probably not worth it 27, but top 3-4 will be gone by 81. Really comes down to want SP thinks is a priority. Pairing the xtra 5th or 6th with a third to move up is a possibilty

I really like Dalton Schultz of Stanford he is an EXceptional blocker with good hands. I would pair him with a another deep threat TE. I think with our great THe we could really be effective run a task TE set.Trey Burton is FA TE that would make an excellent duo for us

Need a TE who can open the seam in Sean’s offense. Fleener failed. Time to move on.

triman · 02-09-2018, 01:58 PM

Lack of production from the TE was a big factor in our 3rd down conversions or lack thereof .
I think we need a total retool at TE!

We have blocking tight ends already with Hill and Houman. We need a true receiving tight end who can block and catch the ball. The seam used to be our go to route but we don't have a tight end who can get to the seam and settle in. Draft one if possible......please!

Agreed. A total retool is not needed. Just an upgrade over Fleener.

And for Pete’s sake will we ever draft our LB of the future??
