Buffalo03 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Replace Charles Clay with Charles Clay. Makes sense

Joe Marino talked about him on the locked on Bills podcast the other day and said he's not particularly athletic, but he's reliable and would definitely be an improvement. I expect us to draft a TE on day 1 or 2 regardless. Yes totally agree as there's some good one's in this draft! Noah Fant I have him #1 overall but needs work on his run blocking.

They drafted 2 last year, 1st and 3rd rnds. Andrews is good and all three of their remaining tes are on rookie deals.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I really wish we would actually go out and try and get the best TE in the draft. Even if it means in round1. The Bills just never have a truly excellent TE and this guy isn’t anywhere near that. He’s okay. Just once I wish the Bills had an elite playmaker at TE and didn’t settle for just a C+-B player.
ndirish1978 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 There aren't "elite" TEs in this class though by all accounts. There are 3 who are purported to be quite good in Hockenson, Fant and Smith, but no one is calling them the next Gronk.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I don’t see him moving the needle either way. his biggest accomplishment has been being occasionally mistaken for Heath

QBorBust2018 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Jesse James is clearly a back up tight end. The guy looks like he has the 40 time of an offensive lineman. I live in Pittsburgh and watch the Steelers games every week while streaming the bills. Jesse James was given every opportunity to beat out Vance Mcdonald and couldn’t even do that. Guy is not athletic whatsoever. He is a poor mans scott chandler. I would rather have Max Williams from Baltimore as a back up. Jesse James is awful

Are you referring to the reported interest in James for an unspecified amount or to someone else? 2 minutes ago, formerlyofCtown said: Nobody called Gronk the next Gronk. Your point being we just ignore more important positions and draft one of them in the event that one of them turns out to be a HOF player? That could apply to any decent player at any position.
BillsVet Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 2 hours ago, CommonCents said: I’d be fine with that. TE is overvalued, it’s a complimentary piece in today’s game. You can run rub routes and check down to slot WRs all day long if that’s what you like doing. NE, PHI, and KC are three of the league's best offense. Each of them have an elite pass catching TE. The NFL is all about creating personnel mismatches and TE is not "overvalued." In fact, I'd say they're undervalued given how a good one forces a defense to cover them. 4 minutes ago, ndirish1978 said: There aren't "elite" TEs in this class though by all accounts.

The real pros are the team scouts and they keep their mouths shut. Remember Glenn was never going to be anything more than a guard according to the GM that then drafted him to play LT.

The draft is a crapshoot. The best you can do is to scout as best you can and minimize risk when making a pick. If the general consensus is that a player is quite good but not elite, then it's up to the FO to make the call on whether to take a chance on a player, but we as fans don't have that information and I don't see it being logical to push a player's value higher than what pros think simply because we want someone at that position. I don't want to keep talking about drafting players in a thread about James though. You can DM me if you want to discuss it and I'd be happy to respond. I like James and would like him on the team if we don't grossly overpay him. Edited February 21, 2019 by ndirish1978 1
Captain Murica Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 10 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: I agree here too. He was special in college. I wanted him out of college, and watching him hurdle people at his size reinforced that.
