    Nix: Add TE to the list

    “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.

    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.

    Re: Nix: Add TE to the list

    Good Chandler sucks.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    It's not like we could have drafted Gronkowski or Hernandez...
    True fans want wins, not draft picks.

    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.

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

    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.

    IMO, Nelson going down allowed teams to cover Chandler which hurt his nos. He's not very athletic but he's been a good target in the endzone. Not that what he did in the past matters now that there's a new HC/OC.

    Re: Nix: Add TE to the list

    looking at our needs , which positions in this years draft are considered deep which allows the bills to wait in the later rounds to draft at that position?

    from what people are saying DL , lber and wr are deep in this years draft.
