billvernsays Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Based on Beane’s PC yesterday I’m thinking we may be considering the TE from Georgia, Darnell Washington. He was saying to get playmakers and match up guys in the 1st round that make defenses second guess their personal. Darnell Would do this for us and he’s a blocking stud in both the run game and passing game. I bring it up because I haven’t seen him projected to us at all and he may be someone we haven’t discussed much and overlooked but after thinking about it I think he would look great in our offense allowing Knox to be more of a receiving TE and steam stretcher like Ertz was in his prime. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who watches a LOT of UGA football, Washington is neither a 1st round talent, nor a playmaker. I'd project him to us in the 3rd or later, and that would be a great grab. But definitely not a 1st and not even a 2nd. 1 3 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get a difference making TE why not grab one? Two TE offense can be dangerous as we saw with Gronk/Hernandez days in NE. I know people are banging the drum for a WR but what if we can get a TE that can move the chains instead? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. He is a good blocking tight end with some as yet unrealised potential as a receiver. A 1st round pick on him would be mad. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s there for our second round pick I wouldn’t hesitate to Draft Washington. He’s going to be a better pro than college player. Would love that pick @ 57. But there’s TE’s to be had in every round honestly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington nah, but I think you are right that Beane is hinting towards a TE early in the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HT02 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 PFF.com has Washington as the #4 TE in the draft and going early on day 2 so likely a second round pick. I would like to upgrade the TE position what do you gentlemen think of Mike Gesicki? He was a pretty solid threat in the passing game before the new coaching staff came in; he was an after-thought for Miami this year but I think he could be an inexpensive 1 year try-out and would be a big improvement in the passing game over the current TEs.

That's a lot of TEs going early. Wow. As for Gesicki, I see him a TE in name only. Not too sure that is what Beane is looking for. @GunnerBillsays there is still some value in TEs in the 4th and 5th rounds. Sounds like a spot Beane could be interested in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have NOT watched a lot of UGA football, but I know that the Bills have a very good (and highly compensated) #1 TE in Dawson Knox. The Bills also have many other priority needs: interior OL, WR, Safety. If they were to draft a TE in the 1st round, it would have to be a generational type talent. Like a Kyle Pitts. In my limited UGA football watching, I would stay that Brock Bowers is as good of a TE prospect as I have seen and a surefire 1st round talent. I don't believe he's coming out this year. I'm not familiar with Washington. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bijan @ 27 maybe? if the top wrs are gone. We need WR/OL in the first 4 picks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically you're saying we should trade for Ertz!!!
