I understand your first point greatly, as I was one of the posters clamoring to get a TE for Brady within the first two rounds. However, regarding your next point about the successor having talent, that does not apply to this situation. By the time Garoppolo steps in, Andre Johnson will either...
I could see Mallett packaged with a 5th, 6th, or 7th for Andre Johnson.
Considering Boldin was traded for a 6th, Stevie Johnson was traded for a 4th, Randy Moss for a 4th, and a talented CB like Samuel was traded for a 7th, I think Mallett + a 5th, 6th, or 7th rounder is worthy compensation for...
I think it as evident in watching Brady this past year that his accuracy took a dip. I totally understand that some of it can be attributed to a lack of chemistry with his receivers, but Brady still missed a good deal of relatively easy throws relative to previous seasons.
The question is...
I'm in firm agreement with the OP. We need weapons for Brady.
If Edelman leaves, I think it is imperative we get Steve Smith.
Regardless, we need a second TE, which I think makes for a better WR core in itself due to the pressure that'll be taken off of guys on the outside.
My assessment, which is in line with the consensus, is that both are late one, early two guys. Selecting them at #29 overall falls in line with that expectation.
ASJ and Amaro are borderline 1st/early 2nd guys. Niklas looks to be a second rounder. Ebron is a potential top 10 pick, with little chance he slips out of the top 15 - there is literally no way he drops to us. Moreover, the way I wrote my post was to suggest that if we don't draft ASJ or Amaro...
I disagree. I think TE is going in Round 1 because after the top four TEs (Ebron, Amaro, ASJ, and Niklas), there's a significant drop off. If we pass on TE in Round 1, we'll have to cross our fingers on Niklas falling to us in Round 2.
Meanwhile, we could land D-Line guys later.
A guy I...
I've wanted Smith since word came out that the Panthers wanted to part ways with him.
I'd much prefer him to, say, another young guy, like LaFell. We already have youth at the WR position, so I'd like to see a guy like Smith come in to take those guys under his wing. Moreover, I think he has...
He's not signed.
According to Schefter, Browner is going to visit Washington today and New Orleans soon, while his agent continues negotiating with New England and Oakland.
But, just as a reminder, Schefter did quote a Patriots source last night who said Browner wants to be here, though it's...
