Yeah that's not happening any more...They've got Edelman. So the notion that they've got no one who can return punts is absurd.
There are almost a dozen TEs in this draft who can help and who would be Infinitely better than what we have now...Article today on the Pat's biggest issue on Offense being lack of an NFL Tight End. I believe that is correct and I honestly don't know how they fix it. Nothing left at FA and draft has no meaningful players on the surface. Only thing I can think of is convert an oversized WR but that's low-percentage.
I think BB would love old man Delanie Walker or we can sign Seals JonesArticle today on the Pat's biggest issue on Offense being lack of an NFL Tight End.

Based upon last year, I hope BB has seen enough to draft one.There are almost a dozen TEs in this draft who can help and who would be Infinitely better than what we have now...
I’m still on the draft Kmet then come back up in the first or second for Trautman If we are not trading for a quality tight end.Based upon last year, I hope BB has seen enough to draft one.

You’re laying some heavy stuff on me this morning.
It seems that when Brady left, the *tourch* was actually passed to Mahomes and the KC Chiefs, and that truly sucks.

The problem is that this offense is very complicated. You have guys like Harry who had no clue year one. Harry had a 24 Wonderlic which is reasonable in smarts for a WR. DionBranch had a 26 in comparison and he got our playbook. Then there is Gronk who most looked as a lunkhead. He had a 32 Wonderlic and was actually very smart. There is no excuse for Harry not to learn.
I think the Pats playbook was a problem for many like Chad Ocho. Chad Jackson .....had a 15!
As I mentioned, the Niners are in talks with Jordan Reed. The outlier here is that they would trade Everett (who actually was the starter in 2019 till he tweaked his knee mid-season and when he came back, Higbee supplanted him). I think they dangle Higbee with the bigger CAP hit.
Now if you go for a very under the radar TE (because he is not rated as one), look at Chase Claypool from ND 6'5" and 238 and chiseled He can gain 15lbs no problem and he runs a 4.46 40. He blocks very well thank you. Can he get the nuances of playing at the end of the line> Perhaps. He caught 66 passes at ND last season with 13 TDs.
George Kittle is 6'4" and 249. The aforementioned Gerald Everett is 6'3" and 240. Jordan Reed is 6'2" and 242. Evan Engram is 6'3" and 240. Hockenstein is 6'5" and 243 lbs.
Speaking of a Wonderlic story, "Joe Thuney avoided answering Wonderlic questions so he did not come off as too smart. He was told to answer only 39 of the 50 questions — which he did — and he got all of them right".
Playing at ND academics is relevant. Claypool might be a TE steal. Can he learn the offense? I would love him and Trautman! We need two Cousins.

Would be very interested in seeing it.Btw I have a Pats Big Board. Its a combo of what position put up the #'s we like. Talent, projection etc.
Debating on starting a thread or putting it in another one?
