1st Round TE?


Rules&Regulations

Recommended Posts

Another thing to consider is that bringing in FA WRs has had a habit of failing IMO.

 

We have brought in several should be #2s only to see them be useless(such as DJ can't Hackitt)

Also TJ whoseyomamma, Chad Johnson, Moss for the 49ers, could argue that Mike Wallace isn't so hot of a deal for Miami, there are others but I don't feel like looking it up.

 

We should draft 2 solid recievers and do some home cultivation, OL seems to be easier to pick up  in FA and have better contributions from.

I think we will double dip at receiver, be it WR or TE or even 2WR.

 

That is the course we should absolutely do, unless we bring in a mid to top tier FA WR, then I see us grabbing another WR in the 3-5th instead of 1st and 2nd round.

 

The other top 3 pick for us is going to be OL or CB depending on how the cookie crumbles.

 

I think we will bring in a bunch of offensive help this offseason and then let practice sort them all out.

 

DG isn't afraid to cut the fat so we should stuff ourselves full and burn what we don't use.

 

Im willing to bet its

1st OL

2nd WR

3rd OL

4th WR/TE

5th CB

We won't double dip at OL, we used a 2nd on Amini and another mid round pick on Kugzilla in the last 2 drafts....won't happen.

 

1 yea 2 no, 0% chance especially if you look at the Giants history of such things.

Cam tore it up when he had Olsen and Shockey. Tight Ends are cheaper than WR, can be in on more varying formations and plays, and are ideal targets for a QB that tends to sail his throws high. Anybody ever wonder why Olsen is far and away our best receiving threat? Because when Cam zips a ball three feet over his head he has the size to still go up and get it. This is why I've been saying we should draft the best playmaking TE available for the past two years. Look at the elite NFL offenses over the past five years. Elite TE's are a part of them. Jimmy Graham in NO kills us all the time. Hernandez and Gronk made for an unstoppable offense when they were together.

I am 100% on board with running two TE as our primary formation with another playmaking TE and Olsen, and have been saying it for some time now. It would bring our offense up to, or at least close to, the level of our defense.

if Colt is the most talented te, why is he a 5 to 7 pick?

 

Because he is an idiot.  He missed many team meetings at Oregon and decided to leave (he played 2 games this season).  Not too long after he was arrested for possession of cocaine but won't spend too long in jail as he pleaded guilty.  Had questions about his attitude long before any of this happened as well. So you have to determine if you feel he will change his life around or not.  

 

Off the field issues aside, Lyerla has a legitimate argument for being the most athletic tight end in the draft.  He is extremely versatile and is a very good blocker.  He was apparently 265lbs with only 6% body fat coming into this season, so he has power to go with his speed.  Can be split out wide to receiver, kept in as a tight end, or used for a couple of plays at halfback/fullback.

 

I like Seferian-Jenkins more though.  He is far more polished as a tight end at this point and I think he would be perfect for Cam and our offense.

I'd rather go CB. I'm pretty sure CB and OT are the two least hit or miss and therefore most likely to pan out.

 

 

We need CBs, sure.  And another safety too really.

 

But we're a Top 5 defense in the NFL *without* an immediate plug-in 1st round CB/S.  What is another one gonna make us?  Even more Top 5'er?

 

We need to fill other needs.  Other MORE critical needs.  WR and OL being much more critical than any form of DB.  WE NEED TO DRAFT FOR OFFENSE.  We haven't done a DAMN thing to build around Cam since he's been drafted though we've done an awesome job to build the defense.

 

It's time to give Cam some damn HELP.

Cam had a record breaking rookie season when we ran two TE sets. I love the idea of getting another Big Target for Cam to throw. It also gives us another blocking body for sets when we have Two running back sets. I know that O-line is a concern, but if we have those guys back healthy, I think we can be satisfied with getting some depth in the 2nd round. 

 

If we're going to draft a WR or TE, if we're not drafting someone with 4.3 speed, I only want to see us drafting guys 6'4 and up. I think that if we give Cam some bigger targets, we can compensate for some of his high throws.
