I think with a few guys opting to go back to school the class has gotten weaker. I think maybe next year is the year to grab a guy. Not out of the question to sign a vet . A one year prove it deal.

Otherwise, might as well just bring back Sample and Hudson and use the money elsewhere. Bowers is not going top drop to 18.He is a top 5 rated player in this draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I think Bowers will go very high, but he's had some injury issues (like everyone, but still) that need to be checked, and there's the measurements and all that. Understand that the tape trumps all, but in years past, there've been guys that were tagged as "can't miss" and "top 5/top 10" that slip because of medical issues, or even situations where there wasn't anything wrong per se, where they slipped due to how the draft fell. CeeDee Lamb was a pretty recent one that came to mind. Terrific college player, had all the measurables, sure top 10 pick, etc. - and he kept sliding and made it to pick 17. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 How about the coaching staff doing more to develop both Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson into more well rounded tight ends? Now we've established Sample is an excellent blocker, how about getting him into the game as a target more? IIRC he catches most of the balls thrown at him (most, not all) but how about getting him into Joe's playbook a bit more. One think I like about Tanner is that on 3rd and 4 he runs 5 or 6 yards to catch the ball not 2 like Irv Smurf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sample doesn't have the speed of most TEs, that's why he is limited in the passing game. Hudson doesn't have the strength of most blocking types, which is why he is used as pass catcher. That's not stuff you can coach into them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyrid Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 I like Hunter Henry if we are going for an outside FA. Should be cheaper than Schultz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have him as the 12th best run blocker and much lower at pass blocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, let's find a good TE and sign him for more than 1 year. And let's not trade up for a TE. We can get a Stover or Holker on day 3. They're both better and more rounded than Irv Smith.
