I say we draft a TE

[northernbillfan]

In the first round, I would like to see us grab a TE.

We need to replace JR, and Dave Moore is geting older.

[ArcticWildMan]

Are any TE's worth a 1st round pick? I haven't even paid attention to any of them.

[northernbillfan]

Jason Whitten looks good. I actually thought there was someone higher ranked, but can't remember his name.

This is ONLY if Tyler Jacobs is not available.

We need some offensive weapons to replace PP and JR.

But this is only MHO

I'm looking at drafting some O help.

[Steve-Mo]

Jason Witten would be a great pick for the Bills... He could turn into the next Gonzo.

[BillsMan80]

Witten is the top TE in the draft. Dallas Clark is ranked second, but he's strictly a pass catcher and can't block. Witten is the complete player. Also, Taylor Jacobs is impressive.

I hope we go OL, Comon Faine

i knew i would hate this thread from the title.. that is about the worst thing i can think of that would happen to us..

first... its Witten.. not whitten.. and it is widely disputed that he is the best TE on the board.. none of these TEs are gonzo or shockey.. and regardless of that.. we dont use the TE that much.. we had a pass catcher last year.. JR.. and he did squat.. no tds.. and we have 2 good blockers.. in moore and cambell..

dallas clark in the 2nd round is the earliest i could stomach a TE drafted.

[Tatonka]

paying a TE first round money is nuts too... unless he is shockey.

Well Witten's got the size... and he moves well, decent blocker. Worth a late 1st rounder. He blocks well, not great but well, and catches fairly well too. He's the closest thing to a complete package, but really I'm not thrilled because he's a bit too slow to be a game breaker.

Clark is on the small side (6'1" ish), but is easily the fastest TE I've ever seen (I'm not kidding, he changes direction faster than a DB and runs 4.4 range), he's also the biggest pass catching threat in this draft for the TE... anyone who saw that last minute catch against Perdue will know what I mean (he took a last minute pass 95yards for a TD outracing everyone in a come from behind victory). He will be selected anywhere form the end of the 1st round to the middle of the second (might be there for our 2nd pick).

[northernbillfan]

Thnanks for the heads up on the prospects Ingtar.

Tatonka, JR didn't have many balls thrown to him, so I guess you are right that we didn't use the TE enough last season. Perhaps it was because JR's hands were not what they once were.

Clark and Witten will not be around when it is our turn at bat in the second round. That is why I'm guessing we will get one of them in the frist round.

Dallas Clark measured in at 6'3-3/8" and 257# at the combines. His 40 times, agility drills, and jumps would have made DB's envious. He's also a hard worker and a willing blocker who should improve. I'd LOVE for him to be there in the 2nd when the Bills pick.

[Tatonka]

northern... i am willing to bet you that either witten or clarke will be there when we pick in the second.. whether or not we take one of them is another issue.

[northernbillfan]

That's probably why I'm not the GM and Donahoe is.

[Schobel94]

I want Clark! I think we should trade down with Oakland and take Clark and a DE, whether it be Kelsay, Redding, Pace, or somelse, or even a good DT if one's available.

[Mad Bomber]

I'm a bit prejudiced, being a University of Iowa alum, but Dallas Clark is THE tight end to take...

I've watched him all year, and this guy can just plain CATCH THE BALL if Drew throws it to him... He has super glue hands...
