He's a three down backer that has some Patrick Willis in him, maybe even better. He’s probably my biggest can’t miss in the draft. As much as I like Allen, Bosa and Oliver. White is going to translate, no doubt in my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Brown. Similar characteristics to this guy. He was drummed out of NY faster than Geno Smith.

JetFanatic Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 There's a good amount of TE's to be had in this draft that I think can be an immediate impact. Guys like Hockenson, Fant, Sternberger, Caleb Wilson, Knox, Kaden Smith, Irv Smith, Oliver and Nauta are all guys I think can start from day one.

Rodgers has 2 ancient TEs right now -- Jimmy Graham at 32 and Marcedes Lewis at 35 .I went into this thing thinking TE in the first -- Hockenson or Fant at 12.

That's the fun part of doing this, as well as the real life GM decision making. You have the positions you want to add, but a really good player outside that picture is there. The perfect need vs BPA issue. We have fun doing this, but the pros can make or break a years work, and set their teams back, if they guess wrong.

Good trade for both teams -- Skins got their QB, and you got the guy you wanted anyway along with a couple of other picks. You could not have asked for it to work out better.

If you have a descent OL and offensive playmakers then I’d says go all in on a passrusher. I’m a firm believer that CBs are more important than passrushers and that together that’s more important than high end offensive skill players. I do think it’s important to have a good o-line but there are so many factors (OL coach, scheme, QB play, consistency as a unit) that it’s hard to know which players to value outside of the truly elite.

I really like Fant, but Green Bay has always been a wasteland for TEs no matter how talented. Well McCarthy's offense scheme is probably flushed down the toilet, so maybe the new offense can convince Rodgers that the TE can be his friend.

I think the right move for the Giants is to ride out the season with Eli’s retirement tour, sell fans on the bright future of Kyle Lauletta, then you let Gettleman “retire” after this disaster season and draft Justin Herbert at 2 next year.
