If they have Decker, Sewell, Jackson, and Ragnow all healthy next year, they should have a really good unit. I'm not quite as high on Hockenson and Swift as you are. I see Swift as more of an above average HB than anything. Hockenson is a top 10 TE, but he's not in the same class as the elite guys. I think his upside is along the lines of a Zach Ertz or Greg Olsen, which is still a very good TE. St. Brown does look to have a lot of potential as a slot WR. So he's been a major positive. Seems like the Giants and Broncos would have the clearer paths. Surprised he wouldn't consider Carolina, considering he went to college there and grew up nearby in VA. Hockenson is only 24 years old and is currently 10th amongst TE in receiving yards despite only playing in 12 games this year. Swift is going to crack over 1,000 all purpose yards despite only playing in 12 games. He's one of, if not the best, receiving RB's in the NFL and once their OL started to pick it up he flashed elite ability as a rusher as well. Their lack of WR hurt Swift and Hockenson because they were really their only top options. They just need a big bodied #1 WR. The Saints are the best option but the Broncos definitely have a clearer path to acquire him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they have some talent at the skill position players and on the defensive side of the ball. If they get better up front they could be pretty good. Denver has basically everything you'd want as a veteran QB. Carolina is a mess and they're likely firing Rhule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints are the best option but the Broncos definitely have a clearer path to acquire him. He's a very good receiving HB and a decent runner. He's nowhere near an elite runner. Problem with him is that he started getting banged up when the Lions tried to give him feature HB touches. Hockenson is a very good all around player, but he's not the force that the elite guys are. He's never going to be Kelce, Kittle, etc. The next elite TE is Kyle Pitts. 10 minutes ago, NYRaider said: I'm assuming the Giants are appealing because he's married to a major celebrity.

It's hard to win with how dreadful their QB play has been this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to win with how dreadful their QB play has been this year. Once their OL found their groove he had a 130 yard rushing game followed by a 133 yard rushing game. They've largely split the workload between him and Jamal Williams throughout the season but either way he's going to be a weapon for them. Anthony Lynn essentially uses him exactly like he used Ekeler with the Chargers, Ekeler will never be an elite runner, has that stopped him from becoming one of the best RB in the NFL? He's not elite but he can definitely be a 900-1,000 yard player at TE. The Panthers OL is terrible, CMac is always hurt and their only real offensive weapon that can stay healthy is DJ Moore.

Denver, Carolina, and Miami would almost certainly get into a bidding war (unless one of them was going to land Watson). Plus, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Washington, NYG, and Philly could all jump in. I think two FRPs is the bare minimum to even get into the discussion. Think it's two FRPs and maybe a 3rd or a 2nd plus a promising young player.
