Rubes Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Guy's only 26 (soon to be 27), has great size, and is a good blocker. Actually had decent receiving numbers when he was with Pittsburgh before he went to the wasteland of Detroit. Seems like he would be a solid pickup at the right price.

GunnerBill Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Meh. I said when Detroit signed him he is not that good but as a low cost / high reward shot to nothing I wouldn't hate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Live this (potential) move. More than an adequate replacement for Kroft and his one great advantage over Kroft is that he is not injury prone. Get it done now Beane!! I suspect his price might go up after the draft. This is a position of need for us. 13 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: A hooker, an outlaw, and a lamp walk into a bar… Brilliant!! We already have the lamp and now hoping for the other two. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I wanted him when he left Pittsburgh and went to Detroit instead. Would be a good move. Jets signed Kroft at $1.5M. I would have brought back Kroft at that amount. Agree post draft makes sense. If you go CB, DT, edge in no specific order in the draft that doesn't leave much room for an impact TE pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 8 minutes ago, Bangarang said: He’s Lee Smith with slightly better receiving ability. If he’s really cheap then cool. Slightly better? James had three seasons with Pittsburgh with more than 30 catches (career high 43) and has averaged about 10 yards per catch. The most catches Smith ever had in a season in his 10-year career is 12, and he's had only 2 seasons with 10 or more catches. James has more career TD catches (11) in 6 seasons than Smith had (10) in 10 seasons. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since nobody expects us to take a TE in any round, JJ is likely better than nothing, since he is likely already better than anybody in this draft. And especially since we (the TBD draft room) are only interested in drafting players who will contribute THIS YEAR. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of my bias is based upon my perception that when Smith is on the field, the odds of him being an actual target are small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd tell you that himself. It's because while he can run routes, his style would be best described as "lumbering" and he can't separate. He gets to be a target when the other team forgets to cover him, then as he said in an interview, after he catches one they tend to put those plays in the back of the playbook until they fall out of the recent film. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Smith is an easy target for fans because he doesn’t make many eye opening plays, those same fans keeping harping on how important Star is. Smith played a similar role on offense for the Bills as Star does on D. I think he is easily replaceable but he had a did have a good season. The only time he bothered me was when he was getting flags. I’d like to see some 2020 stats with Smith on the field vs. Smith off the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybrew1 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 After the draft is also when we will know if we acquired Zach Ertz or not. I want Ertz a lot, but at least James would make our TE room a viable unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
