    I think we can get one or even two guys for quality depth at TE.

    Riordan plays TE. He's a very good blocker and is 6'7 with soft hands.

    Wasn’t Howell a no show pretty much against Texas and Miami. Yeah them baby raptor arms couldn’t do anything against NFL caliber tackles.

    Good stuff @zeeshan2 ! It sounds like the Texans are focused on TE (I'm sure in addition to other positions). Im hoping they build that OL with their early picks and then pick up Mike Washington and Michael Trigg with their 3rd/4th rounders. Toss in a couple of free argents and another year with Caley and perhaps we will begin to see the Offense catch up a little with D. They dont need to be the ****ing 2000 Rams, just a team that can put up 25 points should guarantee a ticket to the dance.

    I think Delp will do some great stuff in the testing and likely rises in the draft maybe to 2nd TE behind Sadiq.


    I like Smith's size and production, would be a nice addition, esp if we could get him with our 5th.

    I noticed the same thing. Durant quickness in the interior did not translate. He was taken out of the plays by much stronger interior offensive linemen.

    Sonny Styles is tearing up the Combine. There is not another linebacker even close to him in athletic ability. He's a top ten pick easy.
