Right on. It was the principle of the thing.

You got that right - he looked like he was "fighting" to catch anything last preseason. He might have been thinking too much, but still... If anyone on the planet watches Amaro run routes, they will easily see his ability to run circles around Kelce as a pass-catching TE. Absolutely no question about that. Not dogging Kelce, Amaro will make most TE's look that way. He's a WR playing TE. You can see that.

A second to go along with a 5th and 6th would be a big time haul.

Those 4th-7th round picks this year all carry over a full round premium due to the depth of the class.

There are almost 200 players with a 3rd round or higher grade in this class.

Well depends on what you are talking about here really.
If we simply trade back and stay in the first then those picks will all be at the end of their respective rounds.
Or trade back to the top part of the 2cd and then get those picks at the top of the rounds.
I don't know if I want to trade back 10+ places. It will all depend on who is available and how it all works out.

I've done it so many times, I sometimes just assume everybody has read it. My bad totally.

He's not done, but I bet anything they take it really slow with him.

Especially with the way the game is played across the middle in today's NFL...defenders are coached to go for the knees and if a helmet hits that thing at the wrong angle with enough pressure, that thing could shatter.

They need to make absolutely sure that its fully healed or else one hit could end his career.

I bet he starts out on pup even though his injury happened early in ps.

I think he has a big time upside after watching him in camp ...and I was not a fan of the pick. The guy has a chance to be a damn good tight end if he can overcome this injury both physically and mentally. I don't think he can be Gronkowski good, but I think he could be a guy that's better than guys like Heath Miller (who is pretty good in his own right)

The guy showed the ability to beat coverage on DJ (one of the best coverage backers in the game) quite a bit while I was there and caught everything thrown to him, including some really nice catches. I think his drops in preseason were nothing but jitters.

My concern with him is his trust in his knee that it will hold up to all the shots it's gonna take. Micro fractures play a mental game with the people that get them because players know how problematic they can be if they don't heal perfectly.

This offense with a healthy and confident Kelce going along with a guy like Amaro would be extremely hard to stop. The safeties would need to stay in coverage and under those circumstances, Jamaal Charles could average close to 7 YPC if the line can open some holes.

Oh, and Bowe would rape.

I don't see it but you saw him and camp and I didn't. I'm going only off of the games I saw him play in college.

Some guys adjust better to the pro game, that is for certain.

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

absolutely. Some guys were used a specific way in college and once they get to the NFL, are better used to exploit their strengths and gifts. I was very excited to see him in this offense.

It was weird because I didn't see him drop a pass in camp, but he dropped everything in ps. That's what makes me think it was just jitters. The talent is there to be a big target with enough speed to get open. He needed some work on not rounding off his breaks, but the guy was sealing the edge like a vet and caught everything.

I think he can be a 60 catch, 700 yards and 7-10 tds per year guy if he can overcome the injury.

Kelce might have upside as a receiver, but the truth is we have absolutely NO reason to think that we can rely on him as a starting tight end. Maybe we can, maybe we can't.

A lot of us are on the same page, though, right? We'd prefer to trade back, pick up a second rounder, and hedge our bets with two picks in the top 50, right?

I'd rather have Jordan Mathews and Seferian-Jenkins than just Beckham or Amaro.

That guy is gonna be a ****ing stud if he goes into the right situation.

Yeah, he's not a polished route runner. SUPER raw in that department - in fact, you'll probably see your exact statement (rounding off his breaks) in his scouting reports.

See, I see him more in the 35-40 catch range and 4-5 TDs. Dependable, not dynamic.

Amaro, and it's not even close for me.

Look at the OP. That's 14 guys who could all be all sitting on the board. Not one of them, but all of them. If we traded ten spots down, we'd STILL have a tough decision to make.

The problem is that the depth of this draft might prevent other teams from feeling a pressure to move up, though.

God-willing, a QB falls to us or someone falls in love with one player.

Regardless, there is going to be a damn good player that finds his way to #23.
