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!

I’m really not opposed to drafting Dallas Goedert in the first round if he’s still on the board.

Combine, Pro Day may actually make that a reality...

I'd really like to see us get another difference maker on the defensive line in the first round...

And I'd like us not spend it on a wide receiver we may have to trade down the road b/c of salary cap...

But I could live with an exceptional TE, but he'd also have to block, wear all the hats an all-around TE should...

I agree. I am very intrigued by 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
