John from Riverside Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Does anybody want to put aside the receiving and look at the blocking ability? Moaeki is the most COMPLETE TE we have on our roster......dont discount him
Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 What Are The Chances Tony Moeaki Can Make a Comeback? If it is possible that he can make a complete comeback, would it not be foolish to draft a TE in the 1st round? Even without a comeback, it would be foolish to draft a TE. We didn't resign Chandler to sit him.
johnwalter Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Even without a comeback, it would be foolish to draft a TE. We didn't resign Chandler to sit him. we certainly did resigned chandler to be a #2. chandler is like stevie, a low-end #1 but a high-end #2. so without a comeback from moeaki, yes, we would be wise to draft a te. 1BD agrees, just take a look at our pre-draft visits: Ebron, ASJ, and Niklas, 3 of the top 4 TEs in the draft. i'm really hoping we go after seferian-jenkins.
John from Riverside Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Even without a comeback, it would be foolish to draft a TE. We didn't resign Chandler to sit him. Every year at this time someone says "dont waste a pick on a TE" Then later on in the year we are watching the drafted TE's making plays on playoff teams STOP THE MADNESS.....lets get a TE that does everything well......Chandler gets open and had good hands but cant block worth a damn and falls over on first contact
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I think the board is under on this guys potential. I lived in KC for a while and he was a legitimate threat albeit on some pretty awful Chief teams hence his relatively low numbers. He only seems able to play the even years, so 2014 is looking good! I'm also not down on Chandler. Between the two and Gragg we seem well positioned at TE. If we could land a Graham level TE no one would argue to do so. I'm not convinced Ebron is near that level. Using a 2 on one of the others seems like a luxury to me that we can't afford. Too many other holes. OL, S, WR and LB would still be my priorities.
CSBill Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 What's the date of his "complete comback"? The draft is May 8th.... Anyhway, I give the chances of this happening as approx. 1.5 Merrimans.
CSBill Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) You heard it hear first: No TEs are drafted, and Gragg will become the Bills #1 TE this year, Edited April 17, 2014 by CSBill

thewildrabbit Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I think one of the reasons the Bills didn't play the kid late last year is they wanted him to fully recover from all injuries. While giving the guy a chance to heal up, and get in top shape for next season. I really like Moeaki, and hope he fully recovers. Then puts all those injuries behind him.
BetterNextYearRight? Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Meh....ASJ/Niklas in the 2nd if no Moses/Jackson please! Moeaki returning to form would help regardless (you know that "new" Pats thing called 2 TE sets) but can't count on It and would be wrong to. A better blocking TE who can run is really helpful to seal the inside with outside runs, helps the whole offense.

JPS Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 John Murphy @JohnMurphyShow 44s Complete audio: Tony Moeaki: "I have everything to prove" http://ow.ly/2FNG40 I listened to the whole interview. He sounded ….how do I say this in todays world…uh…intellectually challenged. This team is a much better team if Moeaki is a bonus rather than a necessity. I say draft someone….and after hearing interview with Sefarian-Jenkins I would ecstatic if he landed in Buffalo. Then again, I've never seen him play. Can he play?
John from Riverside Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 You heard it hear first: No TEs are drafted, and Gragg will become the Bills #1 TE this year, You could be ENTIRELY right on this..... Because of the additions to the roster we might go an entirely different direction in this draft. - I still think offensive line is high on the list - Somewhere in there a RUNNING BACK is gonna get drafted....and Carlos Hyde came in for a visit - Spikes is only signed to a 1 year deal And they might actually like the TE's that they have
Big Turk Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/13289/tony-moeaki A "complete comeback" still wouldn't be anything special. I don't want a TE in the 1st either way (I want Niklas in the 2nd), but let's not pretend Moeaki is some superstar waiting to break out. He *could* be a decent player. He was on the verge of becoming a star in KC until injuries derailed him. Some people's bodies just can't hold up to the type of pounding the NFL puts you through...a shame it happens to really talented players sometimes, but there are plenty of stories of Hall Of Fame caliber talented players who never got to show it due to injuries. I'd be surprised if he stayed healthy, IMHO, but his upside is significant
