Tight Ends in 2023

Listening to Greg and watching Kelce and Goedert make big play after big play had me both reminiscing and wondering how early we target a TE in the draft or FA.  Can Tremble be that guy?  I saw a few plays this year that raised my hopes but a TE really has to earn trust and be on the field for running downs also to be the effective safety valve for championship style offenses that we saw last night.

Should we invest pick 39 in a TE or go after the TE's from Dallas or Miami?  Tremble will be on the roster but not sure who else.  Does Fitt plan on elevating Tremble or elevating a vet FA? I am assuming Thomas is gone?

Kelce lead the Chiefs in catches last night, Goedert was tied for second for the Eagles.  We need to draft a TE and probably go after a decent FA, not a pricey one though like Schultz and Gesiki.  Thomas is a lost cause and Tremble is more of H-back than a true TE.  Time for an upgrade.

It's a really awesome TE class and there's some quality receiving FAs like Shultz and Geisicke.  

Post Maher in the draft:

Kincaid & Musgrave look really interesting.  Huge upside.

Washington has a ton of potential.

Whyle & Craft have NFL careers ahead, both have a lot to like.  

Schoonmaker is reportedly liked by many scouts.  Huge mountain of a man, a bit like prime Cam Brate.

And I'm keeping my eye on the Minny and Clemson kids as well.  Some really good TE prospects.

Tremble would be a phenomenal TE2 that can run with a lot of the 12/22 personnel that Reich/Duce would probably desire. As banged up as TEs get, Tremble could also sneak in as a low-end TE1 when needed.

If we don't have to cough up 39 in a trade-up, I hope we land Musgrave/Kincaid/Kraft. 

This offense has needed a TE since Olsen left. Tremble + a TE1 would be a nice return to the Olsen/Shockey production.

Very deep exciting TE class. Shouldn't have a problem getting one if we want one

Yep.  TE & RB have two of the deepest class at their positions I've seen in a very long time.  

WR might be a bit of a mixed bag, but good overall year to want some weapons.

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
