TE Jim Kleinsasser a Vikings

Bucs released TE Ken Dilger. I read somewhere he is a great pass blocking TE. May be we should get him. Afterall he did help Bucs get that SB.

Also we can consider bringing back Stephen Alexander. Since he was cut by Chargers.

Well, if we had a TE like Winslow then I think he'd get the ball, he's not a bad blocker either. I think he'd be a good fit. That said, I'd only take him if Taylor is gone. Taylor is my guy right now. I dont think the pick is worth Harris or Wilfork.

I agree talent-wise he'd be a good match... But personality-wise i think he'd be a problem. He wouldn't be happy being used primarily as a blocker and he's not the type to keep his mouth shut.

I just don't think the TE position in the gibbs system is that important. We need more of a blocker than a pass catcher. Really what we have is sufficient, and I think the roster bonus of Chamberlain shows that.

In order to get Winslow, we'd have to pick him over Sean Taylor, and I'm not ready to do that. I think having a safety like Taylor will go a long way to shoring up our pass and run defense.

EEich · 03-03-2004, 11:53 AM

I wanted Taylor too until the combine, but now I'm not so sure. Word is that he came to Indianapolis fat and out of shape and that he faked a hamstring injury to excuse his lousy performance. I'm sure he'll still be a stud, but now his motivation and attitude comes into question.

Rasby, Chambelain and Royal will battle it out. I see Rasby starting uless Chamberlain can get his act together

Stephen Alexander was worthless. I remember hearing how all we had to do was wait for him to "take the next step". He took many steps to the bench nursing injury after injury.

He was a bust at TE. I don't want him back here.

The Redskins will probably trade down for Wilfork or Grove and pick up some extra draft picks. I'm betting Gibbs will find a couple blue collar blocking TEs among the undrafted rookie FAs, maybe sign some vet we've never heard of. Kellen Winslow isn't known for his blocking and it would be a waste for him to do so in Gibbs' system. He's a real long shot, in my opinion. Same with Taylor, as much as I like him. If they stay at #5, I can see them taking Udeze, who is a freak and will shoot up draft boards if he has a good workout. I think they're going to load up on the DL.

I'm really suprised at this move, I thought Kleisner was as good as ours. Well, it's not suprising the vikes who are way under the cap want to keep him, but it was almost a done deal he was outta there. Shame.

Me too. He would have been a good fit. Too bad. Now Kinney is locked up too.

We've still got that 5th round pick... trade anyone?
