Of any trade idea now, I’m thinking trading back from 39 to late second round and adding additional day 2 picks. The Bears and Lions are two teams with options to do that. 

At this point if we take a TE he will have to be better than Hurst, or replace Ian but until we cut Ian I would skip TE later in the draft. And if we keep Ian I would skip TE altogether in the later rounds. Jmo.

If we address #1 WR in FA, then we should look at TE with our second round pick imo, but I do love Gibbs. I think Gibbs behind our o-line would have a chance to be like Alvin Kamara in his prime when he used to care us up. We just desperately need a big #1 TE to make things easier on whatever rookie QB is out there, but Gibbs is really good too.

Hurst will be our TE1 next year with Thomas or Tremble TE2/3, unless we draft a TE. If we do, Tremble can take Ricci’s  role or we can release/trade Thomas. I like Kuntz late because of his size and athleticism, and that playing behind Hurst will allow him and Tremble time to develop. 
 

His measurables are crazy. People are freaking out over Washington, but Kuntz is the same height, 10lbs less, ran the forty a tenth second faster than Washington and out jumped him by 9” in the vertical and 6” in broad jump. He also benched more reps. He could be a huge steal in the 4th or later, but I suspect front offices paid attention at the combine and he’ll rise.

I think Washington would have the edge on run blocking over Kuntz, and Washington has the body development. You know Kuntz, to be 6'7 or 6'8 and perform like he did at the underwear Olympics might be something we're never seen before. He's a freak, but how long before he is NFL ready? I think that's why he's projected so low. He'll have to fill out in the weight room, like another 10 pounds or more.

He weighed 10lbs less but benched two more reps than Washington. I don’t think he’s far from Washington in strength and his explosiveness if already better, and you can get him in a later round as opposed to top 2nd. 
 

He can be TE3 for two years and then be ready to take over when we move on from Hurst. Tremble is in the same boat.

Yeah I think if he has like a season of NFL weight training and he can get more powerful then you've got something there. Just looking at his arms and legs, and he kinda is like a big WRs who doesn't really like the contact, if he can transition to a bigger tougher guy who can block and scrap more then that is great. You've found yourself a later round gem there.

I think that description fits Musgrave and many have him going early day 2.

Welp I don't know if you heard the news yet, but I think you can stop mocking Gibbs to us. We just signed Miles Sanders.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
