Posted February 13, 20241 yr comment_1737079 Tight end is another interesting spot. Everyone is a free agent -Hudson is either an RFA or UFA depending on where you look, regardless he should be back -Sample might get a decent payday. He is great for his role -Wilcox should be back. He is versatile in that he can block, catch and play teams, not great at anything though -Smith is gone....career probably over https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_oGEDBZnU6LESfPLyD8apeXSKI-OJ4Z8IWYd7YcnAsM/edit?usp=sharing Draft Order Cap TE Age Overall Receiving Pass Block Run Block Snaps Starts 23/Career stats Notes Hudson-Bengals 30 73 72.5 52.2 74.5 276 1/2 39-352-9-1 50% Slot Sample-Bengals 28 60 52.9 68.1 61.5 496 10/35 22-163-7.4-2 57% IN Wilcox-Bengals 28 46.7 51.8 74 45.8 229 4/9 9-56-6.2-0 81% IN Smith-Vikings 26 44.2 42.8 53.6 53.8 330 6/21 18-115-6.4-1 47% IN Tight End 3 Brown-Patriots 30 73.3 76.5 60.1 63.3 399 11/47 13-208-16-1 83% IN Hudson-Bengals 30 73 72.5 52.2 74.5 276 1/2 39-352-9-1 50% Slot Schultz-Texans 28 71.5 72.6 61.1 59.7 817 8/59 59-635-10.8-5 52% IN 1yr 6.25 Texans Dissly-Seahawks 28 71.3 60.3 83.5 77.2 556 14/65 17-172-10.1-1 69% IN CC Mundt-Vikings 29 70.8 72.5 56.1 63.8 225 0/15 17-172-10.1-1 64% IN Taylor-Rams 17/18 2yr 2.4 3 Henry-Patriots 29 69.3 72.2 74.8 55.8 663 10/83 42-419-10-6 48% Slot 3yr 37.5 Hopkins-Rams 27 68 70.5 56.7 54.5 96 0/1 5-78-15.6-0 54% IN Rookie Deal 10 Uzomah-Jets 31 66.4 60 48.9 74.5 240 8/82 8-58-7.3-1 73% IN CC 3yr 24 5 4 Everett-Chargers 30 65.6 68.1 67.5 51.3 570 12/46 51-411-8.1-3 49% IN Taylor-Rams 17/18 2yr 12 Woerner-49ers 27 63.5 45.5 38.4 76.8 334 2/7 3-32-10.7-0 73% IN 9 Fant-Seahawks 26 62.9 64.2 72.1 59.6 570 17/74 32-414-12.9-0 43% IN Rookie Deal Alie-Cox-Colts 31 61.4 58.4 56.7 61 434 7/34 13-161-12.4-3 84% IN 2025 3yr 17.5 Sample-Bengals 28 60 52.9 68.1 61.5 496 10/35 22-163-7.4-2 57% IN Smith-Falcons 29 59.1 63.5 75.4 43.7 653 6/79 50-582-11.6-3 53% Slot CC 6-3 8 Pruitt-Falcons 32 59.4 76.7 64.2 46.8 401 8/39 9-110-12.2-1 84% IN Hooper-Raiders 30 58.2 58.4 81.5 50.6 556 9/68 25-234-9.4-0 62% IN 9 Parkinson-Seahawks 25 57.4 53.6 69.5 64.1 494 1/4 25-247-9.9-2 40% IN Rookie Deal 6 Bryant-Browns 26 57 59.4 80.2 49.6 429 9/30 13-81-6.2-3 55% IN Rookie Deal Thomas-Commaders 33 57.1 56.1 73.9 60.2 732 15/57 55-496-9-4 54% Slot CC 3 Kroft-Dolphins 32 56.6 49.1 54.9 65.1 43 0/52 NA 64% IN Horsted-Raiders 27 56.3 56 67.4 59.7 8 0/1 1-4-4.0-0 43% IN 3 Gesicki-Patriots 28 55.7 58.3 78.7 35.1 528 10/41 29-244-8.4-2 71% Slot 1yr 4.5 8 McKeon-Cowboys 26 54.8 43.3 79.2 61.8 100 0/3 0 67% IN 5 Trautman-Broncos 27 53.2 49.2 62.1 60.1 755 12/40 22-204-9.3-3 50% IN Dayton Rookie Deal Dwelley-49ers 29 52.8 58.2 69.6 49.2 76 0/17 1-12-12.0-0 45% IN Saubert-Texans 30 52.2 45.5 34.2 63.7 118 1/16 3-12-4-0 95% IN 10 Deguara-Packers 27 51.7 55 29.1 55.4 212 4/10 8-65-8.1-0 47% Slot 6'2 238 4 Swaim-Cardinals 31 50.2 53.4 66.6 47.4 338 8/65 10-94-9.4-0 85% IN 7 Wesco-Titans 29 49.8 40.9 61.2 56.3 423 10/23 1-21-21.0-0 90% IN 9 Tonyan-Bears 30 49.6 54.9 59.7 38.9 319 6/24 11-112-10.2-0 44% Slot Okwuegbunam-Eagles 26 47.6 48.1 57 57 0/7 0-0-0 66% Slot Eagles 1 year Rookie Deal Wilcox-Bengals 28 46.7 51.8 74 45.8 229 4/9 9-56-6.2-0 81% IN Hurst-Panthers 31 44.7 53.1 78.7 28.3 342 8/39 18-184-10.2-1 43% Slot Smith-Vikings 26 44.2 42.8 53.6 53.8 330 6/21 18-115-6.4-1 47% IN Bell-Chiefs 33 43 30.7 46.5 57.2 302 3/30 5-26-5.2-1 76% IN 5 4 Vannett-Chargers 31 42.9 44.3 73.8 44.4 125 5/43 1-3-3-0 77% IN 7 Rader-Titans 29 35.6 33.4 50.1 44.3 147 0/4 1-6-6.0-0 71% IN CC With Burrow is always makes sense to sign a TE who wants to play with him vs drafting a guy.

February 13, 20241 yr comment_1737085 Sample must be brought back because ironically blocking TEs are much harder to find in today's NFL than receiving ones. They are a throwback like fullbacks. On that list, Allie-Cox, Gesicki, and Fant intrigue me. I would kick the tires on them.
February 13, 20241 yr comment_1737088 We need to move Sample to fullback, I think he would excel there.

February 13, 20241 yr comment_1737108 Yes, most teams don't carry fullbacks and use TEs (or even sometimes linemen) in short yardage situation for an extra blocker in the backfield. Ben Sinnot of Kansas State is a good H-back prospect for day 3. Isn't Will Dissly of the Seahawks also a free agent?

February 19, 20241 yr comment_1737751 I'd be very surprised if Irv Smith was re-signed. I also wouldn't be surprised if Hudson or Sample got a better offer from another team. Wilcox should be back as there won't be much competition for him.

Both will return along with Wilcox imo.

Could definitely see Sample and Hudson back, but I woulnd't be shocked if Callahan went after them, too. Especially Sample. He's a real asset in the run game.
