#34fan Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 By now, most of you have heard of Golden Gopher TE Maxx Williams... a kid I genuinely like... Maxx is fast... A very good route runner.... Fabulous hands.... Physical... Max has that "beastly' aura that can intimidate defenders... He is 100% BALLER However.... At 6'4" 248lbs Williams, to me, projects as more of a Rangy Wideout... An extremely talented tweener... And while Maxx is by no means "small" for a TE. I was thinking we could go a little bigger. Enter jesse James TE, PSU At 6'7" 265lbs this is a beefy kid.... Much faster than you'd expect at his size. I've heard sub 4.6 speed, and while I cannot confirm it, I'm verry happy with his speed in the open field... Jesse has consistently helped out his QB's (McGloin, Hackenburg) over the past three seasons.... Not a whole lot of spectacular moves or circus catches... Just solid, reliable, TE play. Drafting BOTH these kids would be great, but if I had to pick just one, It'd be Jesse. -Have a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg7nTsBWZNg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjjr Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 He could be an interesting pick for sure. Have to see how he runs in workouts. If he has some speed and acceleration, he could be compared to Gronkowski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Some nice catches and runs.but to be fair, they were all good thrown balls in open field or scramble rule throws. Maybe I'm wrong, but he looks more like Chandler than he does Gronkowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggerdaddynj Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think you have the wrong Jesse ... I think this is the one who might improve team chemistry and provide a real "lift": http://media.photobucket.com/user/FIlmeNoiNoi/media/jesse-jane-bio.jpg.html?filters[term]=jesse%20jane&filters[primary]=images&filters[secondary]=videos&sort=1&o=0 Prototypical body for a number of positions (not sure about a tight end!).

UConn James Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Maybe with this current coaching staff, we can finally put some investment into this position rather than picking from the scraps and being shocked (SHOCKED!) when these guys don't pass muster when it counts. Lee Smith... the only time I ever heard his name was when a holding call on him that was totally unnecessary & away from the play brought back a big gainer. Chandler has been serviceable. But as an outlet / reliable big-man target for the QB, especially if it's EJ, it's critical to upgrade. It's Buffalo, and to complement this power / run Offense, we need a freakin' tank out there at TE. Someone CBs and Ss cannot cover well due to size and LBs can't cover well due to speed who frustrates a defense. It's been forever since we've had a TE worth more than a bucket of spit.

Maybe I'm wrong, but he looks more like Chandler than he does Gronkowski I agree, I thought the same thing when I watched it, though he seems to be a better athlete and a little more explosive than Chandler. Very little blocking on that video, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#34fan Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Why do I have a phobia when it comes to Penn State Players? LOL, probably for the same reason I fear Stanford QB's... Still, I have my eye on Kevin Hogan in next years draft... part of me believes that if Maybin had been tried at TE, there might have been a different outcome to his career... -But probably not though 6'7" 265? Maybe fast, maybe not? No spectacular moves? If only we had a guy like this on the roster! Great... Do nothing... Ignore natural talent, and turn a blind eye to a position that is critical to the success of your offense... Don't do due diligence... Allow what might be a devastating weapon to fall into the hands of a divisional rival... Hell of a strategy you got there. I remember Gronk @ U of A.. He was good, but no one could have ever predicted his game-changing ability at the NFL level. It doesn't take much for Rex Ryan to lose faith in a young QB... Why not go after the best QB help available? I don't just gawk at stats, and look to fill positions of need... there's something about this kid... Look at how he addresses the media. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGwdec8H23Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I doubt this guy is better than Chandler. I want a TE just like everyone else seems to, but if there isn't a guy that projects to be exceptional, forcing the pick doesn't seem to be a good move. I don't get the feeling that there is an exceptional TE in this draft. And if there is, he won't be there in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for change at TE--been saying so for years. But not sure how you from a guy with no spectular moves or speed to a "devestating weapon". Last I checked, a "position of need" on the Bills didn't include a guy who "addresses the media" well. Penn State hasn't produced a special NFL TE since Sandusky first started humping prepubescent runaways in Joe Pa's shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn State hasn't produced a special NFL TE since Sandusky first started humping prepubescent runaways in Joe Pa's shower. I never once said he had "no spectacular moves"... And clearly he can tap into breakaway speed at times... What this kid does well is get open in the end-zone and open field... If you're an NFL QB, and you consistenly miss a 6'7" 270lb target wide open under the uprights, there's a chance you shouldn't be playing the position. If your'e an NFL coach, and you can't turn a smart, athletic, hard-working, GIANT to your advantage on offense, you should find another job. Very easy to look at measurables... Any moron can hold a stopwatch. -Fighting spirit is harder to quantify. Game-changing ability does not necessarily make a game-changer. I wonder how often a person like yourself needs to look at a Seahawk or Patriot roster littered with late rounders and cast-offs before you get it.... Maybe I can help.... Doug Baldwin - UNDRAFTED LeGarette Blount - UNDRAFTED Richard Sherman - 5th ROUND Kam Chancellor - 5th ROUND Brandon LaFell - 3rd ROUND Julian Edelman - 7th ROUND Jermaine Kearse - UNDRAFTED Danny Amendola - UNDRAFTED Marshawn Lynch - TRADED (by us) to SEA for a 4th and 5th round pick! Tom Brady - 6th ROUND Russell Wilson - 3rd ROUND We cannot continue to do things the way we've been doing it, and hope to have success. No way.
