TE who can play all 3 downs is really in demand right now. I was hoping we could get one in FA but I dont want to pay 10M plus. Might have to draft a guy in the 3rd or 4th if the right TE is there.

I agree, there definitely will be bidding wars for Henry, Hooper and Ebron. Personally, I'm kinda iffy on all those 3 players. Henry is good but he has injuries history. Ebron apparently is dependent on offense schemes since he didn't do much with Lions but did well with Colts, also he has issue with dropping balls. I'm not sure about Hooper since I haven't paid much attention to Falcons but it seems like Hooper didn't do much in first 3 years and then played well on contract year, I don't like signing players who don't play well until the contract year although, if Redskins believe that it was because of how Falcons utilized Hooper then I would be fine with Hooper. I prefer for Redskins to draft a TE although it might be challenging for Redskins to draft a starter due to no 2nd rd pick.

we paid 15 million this year for 2 garbage TEs who we got zilch from. We suddenly have a problem paying 10 million for a quality TE? if you rank top 15 pending free agents those 3 TEs easily make the list. Henry is maybe a top 5.

Ebron, Hooper, and Henry are quality. If anyone bothers me its Henry with the injury history.

leaning just on the draft for TE is the epitome of stupid. Bringing Reed back would be worst tho.

I don't have any problem with spending big on a proven and reliable TE and I don't think those 3 players fit in the category, although one could argue for Hooper. I just took a look at Hooper's stats and it looks like he progressed well, especially in the last 2 years. Again, like I mentioned before, I didn't pay enough attention to Falcons so I don't know much about him other than the fact that he was a good for fantasy football.

Now that Scott Turner is our offense coordinator and it's widely expected for Turner to utilize TE a lot so it would make sense for us to spend good amount of money on a free agent TE. I just don't want Redskins to force it because there are not enough options. Although at this point, I trust Kyle Smith, Riveria and Turner to make right decision with the TE position.
