I just don't see him as that type of TE. He looks more like the good starter type variety of TE. The type of guy who might go in the teens but usually goes somewhere late 1st 

I’m curious about how he’ll weigh. These guys are never as heavy as the schools say, but if he’s really 255 then he’s absurdly loose and coordinated for a dude his size. Natural ball carrier, lines up anywhere. Good blocker. Just seems useful in ways that, for example, Eric Ebron never had a shot to be. Has another dimension to him than most tight ends. Schools with two NFL-caliber backs aren’t usually anxious to put tight ends in the backfield, you know?

It may certainly be recency bias, but it feels like there have been a few really hyped up te players each year that are can't miss guys, and then they just kind of miss. Of course, even a miss would probably be better than Ian Thomas.

I don't think Abdul Carter is gonna be an option at #8. Would be thrilled with the pick if he is.

Didn't we have the thread on here a few days ago where majority of the posters were saying he's not even worthy of a top 20 pick, let alone our pick lol

      Panthers and Horn talks will be interesting

      Actually there is a reason - Free Agency.  We have 8 weeks and this is a huge unknown for how much money we have to spend for the next 3-6 years.  If this doesn't get done fairly soon we should be concerned about it happening at all.

      Reading this thread is insane - some of y'all are truly disconnected from reality.  25-yr old and one of the top 5 CB's in the league - Pro Bowler.  Without the injury history he would demand $23-24M per year from numerous teams no question, bidding war.  Spotrac has his Market at $19.6M/yr - that is likely the best we can hope for and is HIS VALUE.  "If he will take $13M maybe, but not $19M" - are you insane?  NFL players make their money from ages 24-30.  That is the prime years for most positions - that is what they cost and are worth.  Teams don't win championships by paying their top players on each side of the ball the lowest contracts at the position.  There is no way he takes $13M in his prime - no way at all.  He is one of the 3 best players on just about any defense in the league.  If you wanna win you spend on the top 3 players on each side of the ball outside of rookie deals.  What are you saving money for?  To spread it over 20 other mediocre role players?  Supply and demand people - some of y'all don't understand how this works.  The only decision we have is IF we wanna have one of top 3 players on defense be a CB - how much we pay for him is barely negotiable.  $19M makes him 12th - gimme a break - by the time the contract ends he would be the 20th paid in his prime.  Come on.
