Post DEN days? Oh yeah. But he's disappeared. Maybe it was injury related - that I cant say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sign anymore TEs it better be someone who can block. Graham/Kendricks are two of the worst blocking TEs in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time when Graham was a lousy blocker, but that hasn't been the case for a few years. Also blocking from the TE spot is super overrated.

I feel like signing a vet TE to be the #3 is kind of a waste at this point. I think it is time to look at 4th-5th round TEs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Jimmy has improved and is fine when he tries to block (key word tries). I was more advocating against signing Julius Thomas because he would just be redundant at this point. They will draft a mid rounder and be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs anybody who can run a route and catch a football that it can lay hands on. If you think Julius Thomas is done, that's one thing, but if you think the skill set is still there, it's crazy talk to think we couldn't use him.

We have no need for a Julius Thomas type at this point unless you are cutting Kendricks. Which is fine. I'd much rather throw darts with a few of the 12 picks or sign a cheap/young WR than pick up another TE who is on the backside of career and can't run. Only area I see him helping in is the red zone and we are already elite there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopackgonerd Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Rich Rod is easily replaceable as a 2nd TE. Look for us to draft one in the later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, unless it’s picks for picks, just stay the hell away from trading with Bellicheat. He’s undefeated except by Ted via Clay Mathews trade.

Trading Cooks for less then they traded him for (maybe I haven't done the chart math). There have been plenty of Belichick trade losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE used pick 32 to acquire Cooks NE received pick 23 for Cooks There were some later round picks involved in the deal as well, but the meat and potatoes of the deals were the 1st round picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTwoSixFive Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I've always held the opinion that drafting was a bit of a weakness with Belichick, a guy who is strong in so many other areas. Not awful, just weaker than you might imagine given how well he manages most other things. Probably it's down to spreading himself too thin to do full justice to the draft process.
