Tight Ends available

With all the emphasis on defense-as it should be- the glaring holes on offense are backup quarterback, offensive lineman, and tight end. Quarterbacks and OL's have been well documented here but do we have a list of free agent and draft eligible tight ends that we might be interested in? And do we look for a bookend receiving tight end to complement Jimmy Graham or a blocking tight end for pass protection and running game?

I would've liked Jared Cook or someone like that, but I think we go blocking.

Cook just got $35M and Graham's contract is coming up. No way we could do that. If we want a TE drafting one in late rounds would be a way better option then signing a FA. I like that Kelce guy in the mid to late rounds. But I'm not even sure we will go get a TE.

All of this and with our limited number of picks, a TE would be a waste IMO.

agreed - but Lutzencichen (or however it is spelled) could be a steal in the draft for the TE position.

I understand the money wasn't there, just wishful thinking.

I gotcha. I mean I would of loved to bring Mike Wallace back home, but I knew there was no chance in hell it would happen

What made that funny is it came from Thracken, the Auburn fan.

Fred Smith? Is that right? WASH TE? he's a FA

In the 7th round
Michael Williams, TE Alabama
Large frame that he uses as both a receiver and blocker. Gets his nose dirty as a run blocker and can be mistaken for an offensive linemen with his ability in the trenches to redirect and overpower defenders. Adjusts well to passes with better body control than expected. Nice job selling routes and working hard to get open. Tough to bring down after the catch to pick up extra yards. Large, reliable hands with good focus to track and length to pluck. Good experience with 40 career starts for a championship program.
OR
BJ Stewart, TE, Cumberland University
BJ Stewart, TE, Cumberland University Not many scouts had heard the name B.J. Stewart before going to the Raycom All Star Classic on the week of January 19th, but when they arrived, boy they learned quickly. B.J. Stewart is a huge kid that stands 6’5 and looks like he could whoop Andre the Giant in a wrestling match. I talked to one scout who asked me where I found this kid for the game, I told him he is an world class college wrestler and is one of the most underrated players in the draft. His response was simple, I agree, he will definitely be added to our draft board. The week of the Raycom was huge for Stewart, as he talked to 20 plus NFL teams, and opened the eyes of more people. He finished the game with 3 receptions for 41 yards and led all tight ends. Stewart then landed another all star game from his great performance to play this week at the Texas v. the Nation game in Texas. Expect Stewart to talk to 20 plus more NFL Scouts and turn even more .
