See nothing even remotely resembling a rumor. Talk about a misleading title.

My argument for a TE has a different premise: we had better make sure that we have one pass catching TE before we worry about two. Reed is not a gimme given his health. It's not like he had a muscle tear and just has to rehab.

Oh I agree 100%. At this point I'm more concerned about Reeds health than RG3's as you can see from the chart provided below. (Additional Commentary Link)


However unless Ebron by some miracle falls to us at 34 I don't think I can get on board with drafting a TE that high. In fact it would take a guy who would eventually become a hall of famer before I could make my peace with a Tight End with our first pick and a multi-pro bowl offensive lineman that starts his rookie year in subsequent picks.

And as I stated before Tight End is possibly my favorite position in all of football. In fact Tight Ends: Dirtbag59 is the same as Brett Favre: John Madden.

However if they drafted guys like Niklas {TE Notre Dame} or Fiedorowicz {TE Iowa} as early as the 3rd round or even guys like Lyerla {TE Oregon} or Pedersen {TE Wisc} I could get on board with that.

I still maintain though that Moses {OT UVA} and Yankey {OG Stan} would be my ideal 1-2 punch as unlikely as it would be.

We have one of the best young TE's in football. I understand that he was injured last year. I understand the two tight end sets. What I also understand is that we have waaaaay more pressing needs than a backup for Reed or another stud opposite him. Paul and Paulsen are young and cheap, so lets work with that group and address cb, s, rt, rg, ilb.......

Outside of RB and QB, we have to take the best player available. Reed simply could not stay on the field. The sky is the limit for the kid but if he can't say on the field he's useless. What if Benjamin drops to us? Even though we added two wr's in FA, would you pass up on this potential beast?

Yes because I really dont think he is that good.

My last mock: I think we will be very active in the trade market this year. I would be thrilled the draft went this way.

Round 2: Morgan Moses T Virginia
Round 3: Shayne Skov, ILB Stanford
Round 4: Daniel McCullers, DT Tennessee
Round 5: DeAnthony Thomas RB Oregon
Round 6: Brandon Coleman WR Rutgers
Round 7: Colt Lyerla, TE Oregon

While secondary help from this draft would be nice, you can't control who's taken ahead of your pick, and if a DB isn't BPA, then it just wouldn't be wise to use that pick on a DB. So I'd be very happy with this draft. Good RT that could hopefully start at some point this season, one of my favorite prospects at ILB, DL depth, change-of-pace RB/WR for Gruden, huge target for RG3, and an excellent risk pick in the 7th. I like it.

I approve of this draft. Now make it happen

[diehardskin2982]

we draft 2 safeties last year, we got to let them pan out or sign a vet

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Phillip Thomas will start and be a good SS imo. Our FS of the future will join our team on Friday.
