A Day 2 guy. He's HUGE. 6'6" 230+lbs Huge. Ran a 4.52 at the combine. No doubt @bigben07MVP will have more details about him but I've read he will struggle on the outside and will need to be in the Slot or position change to TE.  

I disagree with that take. As you mentioned, 4.5 speed and he is excellent at using that size to his advantage in his route running. He is like a faster Kelvin Benjamin to me (before he ate his way out of the league). I personally think he can win on the outside in the NFL. His biggest flaw is his hands are super inconsistent. If he didn’t have the drops I think he would be a day 2 lock.

And I really love his fit in Smith’s offense.

and yes @MOSteelers56 it was fun watching Keon Coleman and Wilson on the outside with Jaheim Bell in the slot/TE role…that team should have been in the playoffs but do not get me started on that.

I thought that was George Pickens ( minus the blocking)

It is - but I think they anticipate Pickens handling a higher volume of targets and winning in other areas of the field moving forward.

IMO, it's just asking for things to go too perfectly.

I don’t disagree. My point started more on there’s enough out there that we could fill in on what you don’t get in the draft and kinda devolved into what I would do.

You thinking Odunze I’m guessing…

Or a trade for Aiyuk. 

I also wonder if the Broncos would trade Courtland Sutton for cheap. He’s still only 28 and coming off a 10TD season with Russ.

I just think the bold is a dangerous life to live when looking for starters. Depth? For sure. But not when you are looking for your first guy up. Playing with fire that way. 

I don't want Herbig for 17 games. I am not as comfortable with his 47 snaps at the position 3 years ago than others seem to be.

Hard to have an opinion without the $ details. Is it the $$$? Is it the years?  Is it both? 

Yeah.    I wouldn't mind him, but I wouldn't pay him too much.

Sutton is my hope.  I feel like he’d be a good middle ground.  He also wouldn’t threaten Pickens and cause a melt down.  Gives them one more year to see what the have in him and if he came mature.
