The concept that you don't need to upgrade a position group because " they were just fine with what they had last year" is ludicrous. The idea is simple; better talent gives you better matchups and a competitive advantage, and this is just as true at TE as any other position. The thinking that you don't need to upgrade talent because you can scheme around it is faulty.
-
You are making assumptions based on particular circumstances. If Johnson/Campbell have a weapon they will use it, they don't have a rote offense. TE talent right now is below average and could use an upgrade.
-
That was based on the personnel he had, not how he would utilize a prospective new draft pick.
-
This just isn't true, they use their personnel to their strengths, whatever those may be, and surely, this is one position group that can use an upgrade, a top tight end is a unique weapon and can open up other aspects of an offense. and you are very unlikely to get any kind of an upgrade in the later rounds. I do agree that other positions likely have priority right now.
-
I absolutely agree with this and I'd be shocked if they took one that early, however, there a a few freaky te prospects who will surely be gone by the lions 3rd round pick that would be a lot of fun in their offense.
-
Maybe that was more Hockenson, and circumstances than the position.
-
They don't need another mediocre tight end. If they choose to upgrade, that's nothing to bitch about.
-
I know lions fans are techy about drafting a tight end high, but it is one of their weaker position groups, they run a lot of two te sets, and a top te would open up a lot of other possibilities for their offense.
-
Probably none of the corners have value at 6.
-
Purportedly the intent is to reduce the odds of long extra innings games, burning out pitching staffs.
-
The benefit is that you have two of them, of course you want a te who can also occasionally handle a de inline. -
A Travis Kelce.

Every player is a composite. Whether he creates runs or prevents them, both have value. Get players who offer the most overall value, you don't focus on just one obvious factor.

That's 12

The market will decide his worth, not his agent.

Wiseman, in no way, shape or form, fills a need, no one needs five centers. However, just based on talent, on ceiling, you'd take Wiseman over Bey all day long. What the hell is Weaver doing? Maybe just upgrading young talent wherever he can to be sorted out later. Maybe just hedging his bets that one of them fulfills his potential and becomes a star.

Petzold seems especially prolific.
-
What are you complaining about? That's their job. Most fans want to read about players, especially ones that aren't too familiar. What do you want them to write about?
-
Based on what? Hurts was 21 and still on a developmental curve when he came into the league. If Hooker had that type of ceiling he would have realized it by now and not be knocking around in college for six years.
-
True, I'm speaking of the Callis, Mayo, Cooper and Callazo'sof the industry.
-
I don't dispute that the Tigers system is ranked very low, but they were ranked top five only a year or two ago (not by Law), so things can change quickly. Also, Law is one of the least reputable and knowledgeable of the prospect analysts.
-
You should be re-signed to that.
-
I believe the injury was more of a factor in Okudah's play than anything.
-
Browns value is as a versatile back up, you don't really want him as your starting right guard.
