Also 2002. Shockey, Graham, and Stevens. I'm not aware of any other modern day instance. I'll add, it's also relatively rare that even two tight ends are taken in round 1. I don't know if it's because it's such a difficult position to evaluate, or if it's because TE is traditionally a...

If he's available. If he runs faster than what he's tested at in the past, he's a 1st round pick all day. He's a very smart receiver with great hands. He could be a tremendous weapon in the NFL. I could see the Broncos taking a chance on him in the 1st if he's still there.

Maybe not lazy, but obvious. Sometimes that feels lazy.

The thing with Pitts wasn't so much about his production in college, although he did have nice numbers his senior year (43 for 770 and 12) What made him an exciting prospect was more about his elite size, speed and potential. He looked like he could be Calvin Johnson playing TE, a potential...

Comparing anyone to Gibbs is probably unfair, Gibbs has been 1 of 1 since entering the league. I'm still really interested to see how Henderson tests at the combine, specifically his explosiveness and agility numbers. Henderson looks like more of a homerun hitter than Swift ever did to me, but...

No thanks on any coordinator that chooses to sit in the booth.

Looks like Gibbs to me

So you’re saying it’s impossible? Can’t be done? Tape marked. For the record, my prediction is full time DB and 30-40% of the offensive snaps. He lives football. He might have the greatest gas tank we have ever seen. He is capable of so much more than you give him credit for.

Agree one game means little, but an elite athlete proving he's been paying attention and working at his craft means A LOT. Imagine if Anthony Richardson put in that type of work. FWIW, Milton is essentially the same size as Richardson with more short area quickness, better agility and a more...

Howell stunk. Ridder stunk. Jones stunk. Pickett stunk. Who cares what they went for after putting so much putrid play on tape for everyone to say? By the time they were moved people had seen enough to realize they were never really likely to become a franchise QB. The teams that traded...

Milton as a prospect is better than anything in this draft. If you can get a high 1st for him, trade him. If you can't, keep him. There should be no rush in the decision. It's a great "problem" for NE to have.

I said it earlier in this thread, but I think it deserves revisiting. You can't fix stupid.

I don't think that's all necessarily true. BTJ jumped off the screen early on. He pretty much exploded onto the scene from the jump and just continued to grow as a player. As injuries in the WR room mounted, BTJ's opportunities also grew. BTJ ended the season on a high note with Jones for...

Based on what we’ve seen, I deserve to be flamed for this comment, but I believe Lawrence is that guy. Any case I raise for him will sound like excuse making, so I won’t go that route. I’ll just say it’s my personal opinion they need to land a HC like Vrabel or Flores.

This guy needs to be starting somewhere next season. That's just a selfish fantasy football fan speaking. Trading Maye would be dumb. We've seen Milton once, against 2nd stringers. Still, he looks like he could be the real deal. Trading him for less than a 1st would also be dumb. He's...
