I already did...Delanie Walker.

Really? We're saying that's successful?

For a 6th round WR conversion to a starting TE? Yeah, I'd say that is successful. He has decent hands and is a solid blocker.

Also do you remember Eric Johnson? He was pretty good too.

SHANNON SHARPE.

Oh..I forgot he played WR in college. That's right.

Interesting fact, all 3 guys we've mentioned were 6th or 7th round picks.

Side note: Has anyone heard anything about the Demetrius Harris kid recently? How is he developing?

I don't think we will get a good grasp of that until OTA's at the earliest. When they needed to bring up another TE from the practice squad it was Dominique Jones, not Harris. Then they signed Richard Gordon to replace Jones when he went on the NFI list. Both those 2 are better blockers and I would guess that area is what is going to take Harris awhile is getting used to blocking. He seemed to run some good routes and get seperation while having decent hands. Time will tell

I'm hoping Kelce turns out to be a stud, and we simply had the misfortune of an unfortunate injury at the start of his rookie campaign.

That said, I would fully be on board with them going after another TE or receiver, to allow them to run more double TE sets.

It could prove to be a lethal package to operate the offense out of, as we could run Jamal out of it as well as pass in a number of ways & with multiple targets- play-action, screens, x'ing routes, hot reads, etc.

It'd be great to get a guy that could line up at the traditional TE spot, but also has enough speed to be able to split out at times. Much like NO's does with Graham, and part of the reason I think the Saints didn't franchise him was because it was already talked about the fact he would appeal to the league about being designated as a TE based on how he is used by them in the hopes of being designated a WR- which would definitely be a lot more if he was paid the average of the top 5 highest paid WRs in the league.

I do think having a true weapon roaming in the middle of the field is where you'll maximize Alex taking advantage of his talents.

I really wish we had drafted Ladarius Green...

Elude=escape, avoid.

Allude=hint at, draw attention to.

I think that if Amaro is the guy you're targeting that you can get him later than 23 if there's a player that another team covets that they'd trade up for.

Possibly. Sure would be nice to have a 2nd rounder.

Ya, but again, a 2nd is worth not having to think of Cassel having been our starting QB this last season, or him being it ever again. Sadly, it's the price of a dumbass GM- Pioli tax.

Not really. I don't trade 2nd round picks for warm fuzzies.
