I could see how we could do very well running with Calc as TE1 and a strong blocking TE….even without drafting one. If we grab a nice WR especially.

To be clear…once again…this isn’t what we ARE going to do. 

Trade out of 1   Savaiinaea (first round 2) 64- Umanmielen-edge  88)pick your TE  92 Barrett Carter-LB 110 Pierce-OT 161-Shough-(QB3) 164 Mills-DT 165 Williams-CB  RG is fixed, nice edge guy, prospect TE and LB Pierce BU OT 

Barrett Carter is a good LB I’d really be happy if we chose. You looked at Smael the LB from Georgia? Could easily seeing him being a LB we actually draft.

No round 1 rook contracts either LOL

This is what I’m trying to get a bead on….seems to vary site by site…where these prospects will end up being taken. 
  But also…exactly what I was saying about just an example …to explain my point. Which seems to always get twisted and misunderstood around here. My example was I don’t see a huge gap between these 3 through 8 TEs…so I’m leaning towards value. 

I think I get what you are saying.... using 32 on one guy that probably shouldn't be drafted that high....vs a 4th round pick on a guy you think is fairly close...you don't pick TE at 32, basically you take the 7th or 8th TE...not the #3 TE.

I guess the other issue is if you lose all of them by waiting?

Probably why we all agree a trade is probable.

I agree with you both. I have the bulk of the TE's in the 64-88 range. All are raw prospects that need work no matter where their weakness is. I'm sure we will take one,no need to reach IMO. After the first 2,there are no real standouts in my view. All have pros and cons that need worked on 

Another option I see could happen.  With our roster being so young.. what if we decide to trade up and get a target in round 1?

Maybe a stud TE....also what about another CB?  Losing Slay, Bradberry,  Maddox.... I know they are high on Ringo...but we still need depth.  Another safety... LB for sure with Dean being injured and losing Burks.  

So many options... and I love adding youth to all these spots.

Our TOP 30's have all been O line. Just sayin

So what if one of the 2 drop? Is that an option.    It makes sense... but keep in mind, we don't need a guy with receiving volume.  We run the ball ...and AJ and Smith are the next options.  

This is where it seems like the proper play is getting the value guy on day 2.

That makes sense as it's what the Eagles like to do. 

I've seen some mocks where we take Starks the S from Georgia at 32

I've seen some mocks where Loveland(TE2) falls into range. If he hits say 22-25 Maybe Howie moves IDK

TE has less value as long as we have Barkley doing the bulk of the offense

I’m really struggling to believe Rosie trades up from 32 for a player not in the trenches….including OLB/Edge…whatever we’re calling those guys under Fangio.

This was a mock I did trading out of 1 altogether. besides all this there is a 2026 4th from the Jets. Howie loves to move around so I expect something along these lines

Savaiinaea

Love this kid here and would love to get Belton in round 3. I know we like him alot too. Heir to Lane. Sava is a RG who can start day 1 without the round 1 cost, grab your TE in 2. LB Carter in 4 and that's a nice draft for me

So Sava(round 2) your TE (round 2) Belton (OT round 3) Carter (LB round 4) and I know we like Nohl Williams the CB from Cal later

No round 1 guys at all. Weird but it works out really well

unknown. I assume nothing until it happens

They should unload Goedert to get the pick and save the cap space.   But wouldn't be surprised if it's after June

The receiving half has less value... but the blocking part is more important with Barkley 

Russell Wilson taking over for the giants…they signed him for one year
