RaidersAreOne Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 It's wild seeing a TE have the ability to score regular TDs from handoffs/sweeps/reverses. I hope we get weird with him and do the same, in the RZ especially. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'll have explosive plays here and there, but the best tight ends win by being the right mix of quick, fast, strong, long, and savvy. He'a more in the Jonnu Smith or Chig Okonkwo mold. His upside feels like Vernon Davis, but I'm not sure he's the same type of athlete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His upside feels like Vernon Davis, but I'm not sure he's the same type of athlete. His YAC ability is incredible. He is going to break a ton of tackles at the next level. He might not have the elite height and length but he is most certainly quick and fast enough. You'e making it sound like he can't run routes or make contested catches lol. He's done both. You are way overthinking him. Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expectations for him should be a perennial pro bowler, so I'm comparing him to what an elite tight end looks and plays like in the NFL. Based on my review, he's not great at making contested catches and he doesn't have great hands (despite making a couple nice one-handed catches). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucksavage1 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Bowers is gonna open the field up for the entire team. Teams are not gonna be able to bracket coverage Adams much anymore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Great check down option too, with his tax ability. Sometimes itās as simple as getting it in the hands of your playmakers.Ā Ā I find it hilarious people always rant about reaching for need then complain when we go true BPA.Ā Ā I think it sets us up nicely for future drafts too because we arent going to be an easy target to jump because no one know who weāre targeting. Mayock would get jumped because heād telegraph his picks by having huge holes and always drafting need.Ā 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We basically have wrās and teās that thrive in the 5-15 yrd range middle gonna be clogged up. Kinda like kc vs sf in the super bowl. Kelce ate while kittles was invisible. Imo due to qbs and offensive weapons. Kc had deep threats that allowed kelce to work underneath. Sf loves to play the 5-15 yrd game Imo. Aoc imo more like purdy than Pat in the arm strength department. Idk about Gardner. Only deep threat we have is tre.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
