Even if kelce comes back and wrecks shit, who cares?


People act as if you can't have multiple good/great players at the same position.

If some player has elite upside when you pick, seems pretty easy to me

[O.city]

Thing with wr is, what's the difference in say Beckham ( who I love) and Josh Huff? If they like Jenkins like they're saying, seems wr isn't of high priority

It all but guarantees Reid the ability to run his dynamic double TE set that he always tried to put together but failed doing in Philly.

Let's just say, for shit and giggles, that Ebron comes in and produces like Vernon Davis right off the bat.

And at the same time, Kelce lives up to the Gronk comparisons.

Who here WOULDN'T want Davis AND Gronk on the same team, with ALEX SMITH at QB?

Please raise your hand if you're against this so that OldSchool can come around and slap you up the side of your ****ing head.

It's the same reason i wouldn't be terribly upset with a 1 year prove it deal with what's his face from GB that ****ed up his neck (if they don't want to draft a te)

It's the same with any position.

Don't draft X because we have Y. There are a ton of ways to get everyone on the field at once. Be creative.

I like Finley on the outside, I don't like him inside even when he was healthy. Packers fans hated him for his propensity to drop the ball and also the fact that he seemed scared to go across the middle. I don't see how that improves after suffering a neck injury.

[O.city]

He's essentially have to be a big wr who plays some te

This.

[RippedmyFlesh]

In this scenario Beckham. Give Kelce at least a year before you draft another te.

I can't believe I agree with you on something. A wr in a te's body is how I think of him.The last thing we need is someone with hands issues.

I remember this convo the last four years

when Dexter McCluster was Wes Welker and Tyson Jackson was Richard Seymour and Glenn Dorsey was Warren Sapp and Jon Baldwin was Vincent Jackson. I remember that team.

Ebron will never fall that far. If he does, we should take him.

It was a hypothetical. I don't have much faith that Kelce will ever be Gronk.

But Eric Ebron has a chance to be special. There's nothing "homer" about it.

It's entirely possible. Eifert posted similar numbers at the combine and had better hands than Ebron does, he didn't go until 21 in a draft that was significantly weaker in receiving options than this year is.
