I agree although I'd rank them Miller, Olsen, Keller because of their positions on the depth charts. These are 3 guys with biggest upside. Otherwise don't worry about it.Maybe keep an eye on Leonard Pope too.
I've been banging the Randy McMichael drum for months, for the exact reason that you cite, and I still like him. He's no Gonzo, but he's a better overall athlete than Cooley and Cooley put up pretty consistent numbers in that offense. However, the fact the Rams' OL still looks to be in shambles is tempering my expectations a little bit. Randy'll still have a pretty good shot to outproduce his draft position, IMO. In my leagues he's been going at an average of TE13. I expect he's going to outperform at least 5, maybe 6, guys who have been taken above him in those leagues.
I like Keller, but I think he's being OVERdrafted because of Fav-ruh. He has been in a couple of my leagues, that's for sure. Getting picked where he is I can't classify him as any sort of a sleeper. Owners are drafting him expecting top 10-12 production.
Exactly, I read the thread and no mention of him.All SEC TE, receiving TE, Peyton loves his TE's, they run two TE sets and Dallas Clark gets hurt often.
I agree with this. The Eagles used their franchise tag on LJ Smith, so that says something about their commitment to utilize him. The Eagles are somewhat desperate in the passing game outside of Westbrook right now ...Jeff Tefertiller said:
only problem is that he's not even the TE2 right now. Gijon Robinson is...who's blocking they loveAlmas_4th_Child said:
As I pointed out in a couple other threads, Saunders has been the benefactor of having ALl-Pro caliber tight ends on his roster when he got to the teams he's coached . . .Kellen Winslow in SDTony Gonzalez in KCChris Cooley in WASThese guys were already being productive before he got there, so he didn't have to change anything to make them productive.What happened when he went to a team without a top TE? Nothing. He was an Assistant Head Coach with the Rams in their peak years . . . and the Rams did little to nothing in terms of TE production.As far as I can tell, the base Rams offense has not had many plays for TEs, nor has Bulger looked often to his TEs. I'm not saying that McMichael won't be productive, but IMO playing the Sanders card won't be the automatic like in the past (which again he had little to do with).
Im firmly on the Z-Miller bandwagon, but LJ Smith and maybe Mcmichael coudl be moneyIn Pasquino's article on targeting TE's, the only reason Miller isnt in the group 1 higher (1 WR in top 50 ADP) is because Curry is rated WR49...and I dont think Javon has impressed anyone, but hes hanging around WR30-something, so it almost puts him in the top tier for that.Russell is young, and with the lack of options, I fully expect Miller to be the beneficiary. In limited time, hes even shown a penchant for lookin for Miller in tight situations. Maybe Im to optimistic bc I drafted him late, but unless you spend a pick in the first 5 rounds on Witten, KW, or Gates, I dont know how you dont like this guy, esp since Scheffler is TE3 in DEN
It's been hard for me to keep my mouth shut, but this is the guy i'm going after in every draft this weekend. I've got four of them and i hope to have him in all four. i'm aiming for McMichael or Scheffler to go with him. the former should also be available late. i'm thinking that by waiting till rounds 10+ to take a TE I can build a solid core early and one of them will be a top ten guy in the end.
Won't play enough downs, his blocking isn't up to par just yet.No love for Boss. They liked him enough to let Shockey go
I like this order as well. Miller will lead this team in rec and Olsen is probably the best receiver on the Bears.
Waited too long it sounds like. Le Sharke mov
