So Cottam is quaranteed to be a good TE in this league? What will we do when all we have is Cottam and Tony is gone? It doesnt appear that your thinking about the future.

He's not athletic in to what I'm comparing him to. He looks like a slow white kid with no athletic talent next to guys like Jared Cook and Cornelius Ingram.

Why are we having a debate about a guy who isn't even a top 4 player at his position?

Oh yea he went to Missouri.

I hope the future entails the TE position pretty much blocking and catching a couple balls a game because we have 2 good WR's and a OL and RB that can punch the ball into the endzone if need be.

If you wanna pimp a TE go with this guy..

I know hes not the athlete that Cook and Ingram are but hes a football player, it isnt all about being athletic. He is fairly athletic when compared to those two, but for a Tightend hes better than most.

No, he's not. The game is different...the TE position is much much more athletic than it use to be and it continues to change that way.

It's why people question Brandon Pettigrew as a high pick that kind of TE is not what's in anymore.

So what is wrong with having that extra weapon at Tightend along with that other stuff? I dont want a Jason Dunn as our starting TE. Each team needs somebody that will line-up inside and can attack the middle each play.

Holy shit, that's a fast 40 for a dude that big.

You cant compare him to Pettigrew :rolleyes: Coffman is nearly the opposite of Pettigrew besides the speed and run-after-catch abilities.

This how a TE stretches the field.

Nothing's wrong with it as long as we don't give up a 3rd or 4th round pick in a OL heavy class with an absolutely shit OL.

I'd rather give Cottam the shot to be the man when Tony leaves, and if he struggles and a great, can't miss prospect comes our way with size, speed, and a great skill-set in a draft down the line, then so be it.

You know Chase Coffmans scouting report basically says he's an average blocker from the spread that doesn't have much wiggle or shiftiness after the catch?

Read the scouting report.

I do kinda think that Coffman will be a productive offensive player in the NFL provided he lands with the right team. His hands are pretty incredible.
