If you could have any of these tight ends... (1 Viewer)

I know they're all pretty close, but I want to gauge the Shark Pool's view of these four for trade value purposes.

I have Winslow in one league, Witten in my other. FWIW, I chose Winslow.

My reasoning: firstly, that he is the most physically gifted of all these choices. His big play potential is therefore the greatest in my mind, see his 40 yd reception on Sunday.

He also has arguably the best situation. His QB doesn't compare to Manning or Romo, but they have a connection, the Cleveland line is playing really well so his blocking responsibilities are minimal, and the Browns defense is the worst of all of these teams, suggesting to me that the Browns will be behind and throwing more often than not. Additionally, he really is option 1A/B in the receving game along with Edwards, whereas I think that Clark and Witten will more often than not take a back seat to their team's WRs, and Gonzalez to LJ and Bowe (see the stolen TD in the endzone).

It depends. If Terry Glenn is still hurt then it's Witten by a mile. He gets the yards and the touchdowns. Romo looks to him early and often especially down the field and in the red zone. If Terry Glenn returns somewhat healthy it'll take away from Witten some but I don't think he'll suffer too much. He's a really good player. Highly underrated.

The same can also be said for Dallas Clark but I think he'll slow down some when Manning finally throws the ball to his wide receivers more. If this Harrison injury is major however he could see an even bigger role.

Winslow's great but the offense while better in Cleveland isn't all that. Assuming Brady Quinn comes in late in the season that could Winslow's numbers also. Then again it could help.

Tony Gonzalez is old reliable. The offense isn't too good so he'll get solid if not spectacular numbers.

So if I was to rank them it'd be 1) Witten 2)Clark 3)Winslow 4)Gonzalez

I'd take Clark. Very possible he finishes #1.....and you'll give less to acquire him.

Like an earlier poster said, if terry glenn remains out, I want Witten

a) He is on one of the best offenses

b) Less injury concerns than Winslow and Clark

c) Witten is Romo's second option to TO

d) High yards per catch

e) 3tds in 4 games

But to be honest, all three look like good options. I would take Winslow as a narrow second. Those two are neck and neck with each other with Clark right behind them at 3rd.

I like Tony Gonzalez, but his offense hinders him when compared to the others imo.

Thanks everyone. I'm a bit surprised that Gonzo is getting trounced. I figured he would at least be in the conversation. Clark was my first preference (especially having Peyton Manning and wanting the hookup), but his owner is not budging. Same with the Witten owner. Looks like I'm going to end up with Winslow.

If there's a concern with Winslow, due to his aggresive style he seems to be more prone to injury. Not considering the motorcycle accident, he's still had a number of injuries on the field. That, and his QB situation isn't as solid as Dallas Clark and Jason Witten (obviously). The entire surrounding cast of the Colts and Cowboys are an entire step up from the Browns.

I think Gonzo is a tier below right now with his team situation. He's good, but would rather have any of the other 3.

Clark, Witten, Winslow, Gonzo.

The poll seems pretty much on point...
