The guy I was quoting was., and I gave an observation in regards to what he was talking about. Yes, in house options are how we play this year.

Uzo seems to be getting open a little more than Kroft from what I've seen so far this season. Still too early to tell if that has much significance, but looking back I think we'll be happy with what we get out of who we already have on the roster. 

Can't get Eifert out of my mind this morning though. What lousy luck for the guy. Can only imagine his frustration.

Uzomah and Kroft are criminally underrated IMO. I have absolutely no problem going forward with both of these guys.

Agree with this 100%. I would be fine rolling with Kroft and Uzi even next year and resigning Eiff similar to what we did this year. 

Tight ends remind me a lot of closers in baseball. They are nice to have, but just not a whole lot of value.

We shouldn’t be surprised if a TE is selected in Rd 1. I know most would think OL but they may not especially if they surprised and brought in a quality RT like Daryl Williams or Rob Havenstein in FA.

I think Schreck isThe most skilled tight end we have,would love to see him get some playing time,,,,

Idk a guy like Travis Kelce seems pretty valuable to me.

I’d like to go LB in the 1st.

He looked good in the preseason. I’d like to see him get some snaps as well.

As others have noted, I think Uzo and Kroft can pick up some of the slack, Shreck will get some opportunities, and maybe Tate gets some looks.


......but, man, you gotta feel bad for 85.  He worked his ass off to get back, and was playing good ball.  Now this.  Wow, I was speechless when Lap called out over the radio he was down and wasn't getting back up.  Poor guy is just snakebit.  I really hate it for him.
