He's immediately a better catching TE than Dickson, blocking though, not sure.    Who really needs to be signed is Barnidge but hey. lol

Dickson did a great job as a blocker in week 1. It shocked the hell out of me for sure but credit where it's due.

Really like this move. Garrett felt like he had run his course and didn't have any upwards potential and Hodges is a big, athletic TE who could develop into something solid.

 I liked Keyarris, but yeah that's a good point

Seen him catch the ball and stay on his feet like 3 times in that entire highlight video.  Lol looked like a 6'6" 250+ lb slow ass Philly Brown.

Yeah I had high hopes for him but after not seeing any major progression from last year to this year, it was probably time to move onto the next project.

He's actually got good speed.

Bucky waited a year late to come out and I think he had some medicals that made him drop in the draft. He was a 3rd/4th round guy if he would've came out in the 2016 draft but stayed. I'm intrigued by what this could become.

YAC requires good ball placement, a good portion of these catches are behind, and under thrown. +

What I like is the red zone ability, and catches in traffic.

Goodbye Keyarris, we knew ye well. 

 

Finally a cut that I actually like.

Barnidge not being on a team is completely on him. He either doesn't want to be a number 2 or he wants too much money.

Good move. The guy has a lot of talent. We've held onto Garrett long enough to get a feel for what he can become. 

[WOW!!]

Like this pickup as well..

Can't complain about this at all especially since i wanted to draft Bucky..

I wanted to draft him the year before but then he decided to come out in a deep TE class.
