Along with maybe one no-name signing? I mean, so long as we draft one, or scoop up somebody during the wave of camp/preseason cuts, I'm okay with it. Moss was Burrow's college teammate, and played well, so there is some chemistry. And Sample could be in line for a Dalton Schultz-style 4th year breakout if he's given more snaps. Even if not, he's one of the better (even if not elite) blocking TEs. The TE isn't featured that often in our offense, and with Chase, Higgins, Boyd, and Mixon, he'd be the 4th option most of the time. I'd love McBride if he was BPA, or a Ruckert in the mid-rounds, but I honestly don't think it's the end of the world if we just stand pat at TE and focus on other more pressing needs.
It depends on what we do elsewhere. If we roll into the draft with TE, RT, & CB all needing a starter quality guy and without another IOL add, yes, I am gonna be pissed.
But that is basically the situation now. I cannot imagine we whiff from here. ATM, we could just start Waynes, so it is not entirely a void at CB.
