Nix: Add TE to the list

[justasportsfan]

“We need a young one at that position,” said Nix.

Nix also said they intend to target two or three players in free agency, and that’ll determine where they go in the draft.

Chandler is entering a contract season while coming off a torn ACL. Do you think we go FA or draft? QB,WR,OLB and TE as our 4 biggest need.

Re: Nix: Add TE to the list

I would think that we'd go TE in Free Agency. These guys should all be available:

Fred Davis
Dustin Keller
Jared Cook
Martellus Bennett
Brandon Myers
James Casey
Ben Watson
Anthony Fasano
Delanie Walker
Kellen Winslow
Todd Heap
Jeremy Shockey
Visanthe Shiancoe
Chris Cooley
Dante Rosario
Travis Beckum

I'd love Bennett, but he says he wants to stay in NY, and would give them a discount. And they want to keep him, so I doubt he hits free agency. I'd be happy with Delanie Walker.

Re: Nix: Add TE to the list

Is it just me, or have those 4 positions been holes for Nix's entire tenure? Granted, we had some bigger holes that were filled and he can't do it all at once, but it just seems like we've been complaining about these positions since the Jauron days with no results.

Re: Nix: Add TE to the list

I'll be surprised if the Skins let Davis go.

But I wouldn't give him big money. He's one joint away from a year suspension.

Id like Cook, Davis, Bennett, Myers, or Casey. theres actually a surprising number of decent TE's available.

It's not like we could have drafted Gronkowski or Hernandez...

Walker is a role player and I don't know if he'd be a starter here. I mean he was a backup/spot starter for the 49ers. Personally I would go after a guy like Dustin Keller as an UFA as he offers up some things that Chandler doesn't offer and might be affordable since coming off injury. Another guy that might be available is Jermichael Finley who I've been talking about since last offseason. If there was a position of strength in UFA it is TE and would be happy adding either Keller, Finley, Bennett, Davis, Cook. I'd also consider Ben Watson as a one or two year option.

Re: Nix: Add TE to the list

I love James Casey.

I prefer cook, or keller, or davis, or pitta, or bennett, or even winslow jr, casey is more a fb/ get, but after the other guys get woulb get next and last on my list pitta is a rfa which I think was drafted in the 3rd round and yeah I would give a 3rd for him even a 2nd if that is what we had to give up heck the Ravens are strapped by the cap so maybe get becomes a ufa but pitta, cook, and keller are my top 3 followed very closely by davis and bennett.

At no point during this ramble did I understand one thing you're saying.

Re: Nix: Add TE to the list

Chandler tore his ACL?

Yeah I think it was in the 2nd to last game of the year against Miami. He had a couple of big catches before getting hurt. It was clear Gailey saw a flaw in the D that he could exploit with Chandler. Unfortunately, he decided to force the ball to he smaller, less experienced Dorin Dickenson when Chandler got hurt, rather than, you know, adjust the plan mid-game. And that's one of many reasons why he's now unemployed.

But I digress- chandler may not make it back for the start of the 2013 season.
