We didn't undervalue the position at all.  We simply got our underneath / checkdowns from a back instead of a TE.  It would have been even more obvious with CMC healthy.

Keep an eye on TE's Charlie Kolar (Iowa State) projected rounds 3-5 or Quintin Morris (Bowling Green) projected rounds 4-6.

Morris will be playing in the Senior Bowl.

"Kolar has, quite easily, some of the best ball skills in the entire class. Listed at 6-foot-6, 257 pounds, he has had no problem high-pointing jump balls and back shoulders over the course of his career. For his career, he’s dropped only two of 62 catchable targets, and he finished fourth among all tight ends with 11 contested catches in 2019. While he’ll never be confused for a dynamic threat at the position, Kolar at least proved capable of getting downfield, hauling in the second-most receptions that were targeted 10-plus yards from the line of scrimmage of any tight end (28)."

We just don’t have enough to get a tight end . We have holes and are broke

Think about what Olsen did for us when he was full speed....or Wesley walls

I would love to get pitts

The good news?  We can upgrade 3 positions and dramatically improve the offense---

1. QB

2. TE

3. LT

Get CMC back and healthy, add a G in free agency--and the offense is tremendously better.

Just wait until the phenom Greg Little develops and we are set at LT. Hurney homerun!

At least our new GM is an "evaluator" that doesn't sit on total bust draft picks to save his ego

I don't think we undervalued the position as much as Ian Thomas just utterly failed to develop. He played better as a rookie than he has at any point since.

This. You want Kelce or Waller? Draft Kyle Pitts. Ian Thomas sucks. His backups suck. We haven’t really developed a TE in a long time in Carolina. We stole Olsen from the Bears and Shockey was at the end of his career. If you can’t get a QB you like at 8, take Pitts and you can let Curtis walk without feeling it much AND we would have a red zone threat for once.

I don't care if we got Kyle Pitts or Shannon Sharpe in his prime. Who the f u c k  is going to throw them the ball? So no to drafting a TE in the first rd....
