how many times has BB drafted TE and missed. imean graham and watson were decent but really not tony gonzalez. thomas i believe had good chance to become one and he was quite good in texas but has hardly played with brady ....
i really dont get this...

What happened to the 'best TE competition we've ever had?'
Two of the 4 are cut and we sign a guy from another team. One of the guys who makes the team (no surprise, but still) hadn't even been a part of competition, since he was injured.
So, apparently, that great competition turned out to be Chris Baker and no one else.
We thought that about Watson, Baker, Thomas and Smith, two of whom are now gone. I still remember the excitement over Smith, he of the 5th round pick. So let's hold the enthusiasm until we've seen Matthews play.No, it turned out to be Watson, Baker, and Matthews, which is the best mix and depth of TE talent that we've had since Graham left.

7th, 5th, nothing... it's all good.
New rule in Foxborough : put up or ship out. They don't care about your name, your potential, your draft position. Show us whatcha got.
Why 2011 and not 2010? Drafting all these TE over the years was such a waste. I rather of seen LB and DB used with those picks.
I think getting Matthews is huge. Graham has been sorely missed since his departure to Denver and we have needed a replacement. Graham could spring some great runs with key blocking and I think this guy has that same ability.
Now, Thomas for a 7th stings a little considering the pick/time invested in him. But hey, thats the shakes, Baby.
on the Giants boards, they seem to think very well of Matthews. seems to be a real strong blocker. i look forward

Heres a clue He cant catch or block and hes turn over and injury prone, and had the nerve to hold out his rookie year, besides that hes super
iam as big a fan of BB as anyone but sometimes he gets an easy pass throwing away picks and releasing draft picks
k oconnel, richard,thomas,smith all cost draft picks and gone before even seeing significant timeon the field.
