re: Dallas Goedert Would Be Lethal In Our Offense!

If we have to draft this kid at 27 to get him, I would pass. We need a day 1 impact player with that pick. TE's usually aren't day 1 impact guys. Takes at least 2-3 years for them to fully develop.

I'd take him at 27 if it were guaranteed that he would be developed by his 2nd year. We should have Fleener & Hill to bridge the gap until 2019. I can definitely see your point though, b/c if he isn't ready by his 2nd year...we're going to be in a bad situation (in 2019) at the TE position. Fleener is almost certainly getting cut in 2019. Hill & Hooman (I think he's gone this year) aren't under contract for 2019 either.

The 1 thing that could save us is the fact that cutting Fleener in 2019 will save us 7.4 mil against the cap. We should be able to get a legit TE in F.A. after Fleener is let go.
