He will be the most experience. One we’ve had he can get it done
15 seasons this has to be his superbowl

Clear up some room after June 1st by releasing fleener. Huge mistake right there

Goes to show how terrible our TE situation is. Love Watson, but he's pushing it with his age and he's our best TE.

I always liked Ben Watson. He can block, run routes, catch the ball and break tackles. He was the Pats starting TE when they broke the record for most prolific iffense ever.

That's awesome, if you have him on facebook or Instagram, Benjamin Watson flushes more character daily than most people I know witness in their life time.

and the guy out of Wisconsin will be available in round 3

Who is our TE's coach? I think we have a position coach that had a different back ground before moving over when the TE coach took over at another position.iirc

I'm asking because we can't seem to get ANY production from TE.......just like we couoldn't get any production from the LB'ers before letting Vitt go. If we draft a TE can we train him?

Dan Campbell.

The bigger problem for me is talent. Too many undrafted or bottom round players at the TE position & Fleener is one concussion (had 5 in 2017) away from retirement. I hope the Saints target one no later than round 3.

At least Ben is back though.
