2nd round must.

A blocking TE in the 2nd round? That’d be a pretty ‘bears’ thing to do.

He caught 10 passes last year and 7 in 2020. He’s caught 25 passes this year through 10 games, he’s 4th on Georgia in receptions behind another TE. Surely there’s somebody better by the time the bears are on the clock with the ravens 2nd rounder.

Georgia TEs very overrated. Run heavy scheme gets them super favorable matchups against slower LBs.

Hope they wait until ‘24 and draft Brock Bowers. He’s one of the best TE prospects I have seen in a while.

Unbelievable receiving skills. Measurables off the charts.

I cant remember...did Ron imhoff whoop your ass?

One eyed willie would leg chop you into the fetal position. Im still waiting for that chris and anytime walmart parking lot death match,,

 

[HearshotKDS]

I like him for the Bears if hes still there with the early 3rd round pick.

That type of guy is a 4th round selection, not a 2nd. Would you take Kmet again at 50?

I think you need to do a lil more research on Darnell Washington before you go labeling him

 

[Chris Sojka]

He had Nagy for an entire season. His rookie year, a NFL players most formative year was with Nagy. He has spent more of his career with Nagy than Getsy.

He had Nagy for one year… and it showed in the first 5 games where he had to unlearn that shitty ideology., suddenly he can run, his TE showed up, and he can make deep throws.

Again, Trubisky had Fox, ran the ball and had no confidence in him… then Nagy… yuck….

Neither could ever coach in the modern era as a head coach.

That type of guy is a 4th round selection, not a 2nd. Would you take Kmet again at 50?

Yes absolutely! Kmet had Nagy! And Nagy was trash! Trash….. He’s picking up steam with Big E and with a second true Y like Washington Kmet becomes the Disguised U.

At 6’7” 280lbs ( with the ability to put on 10 more) Washington blocks like a small athletic tackle and allows true tackles to pull like guards and run more effectively to the 7 and 8 holes! This compliments designed runs for guys like Fields and helps exponentially!

Play action becomes a different animal too… 3 linebackers must be on the field for Kmet Fields Washington and Montgomery. You must spy and you must cover! A difficult task for any defense on these players due to Fields athletic options.

It’s actually a math problem. And all designed to make fields better.

Washington creates a massive imbalance for defenses. Defenses would need to run no nickel or standard 3-4/4-3 defense for many plays which is not what they’re armed to do in the NFL anymore. Nickel is typically run 50- 65% by defenses. I’ll continue to defend this choice as it basically puts Fields on another level.

 

[Chris Sojka]

Washington is the featured TE and the Georgia offense is run based on his ability to line up and block and create chances for his QB and RBs.

His catches in college aren’t an issue, it’s not a TE featured offense in the passing game. Yet he can still catch, run and is beyond athletic enough to catch the ball. Everyone else benefits from him. He however does not benefit from being the size of and strength of a LT with the speed and athleticism of a Y tight end.

This isn’t a stationary QB in fields!
Again
This isn’t a stationary QB in fields!

Lead blocking and options off the scramble are his most important weapons. If the pass play breaks down Washington and Kmet become those big targets that you play pitch and catch with to pick up yards. He also makes Montgomery life better… good for an increase of 20+ yards for the running backs just on his ability to block.

 

[Chris Sojka]

Just like that… people realize he can change an entire offense…

 

[Chris Sojka]

Bump… Kmet didn’t block poorly but he wasn’t Elite on an Island with a defensive end.

Washington is bigger has longer arms and blocks consistently. Regardless of what Fields did on the next play Washington prevents hits to fields like this… and opens up what would be sacks and small runs into big plays in both the pass and run game.

You’re looking to build around and compliment fields! Two TE set with an Elite Y and an excellent Y hybrid like Kmet changes the offense so you can put extra pass pro on one end and sneak one out.

I don’t expect many to understand what an elite athlete at TE does for an offense that runs hybrid super athletic TEs, but think of Washington as your George Kittle blocking TE with Kmet as your dual threat hybrid.

 

[bearsfan1977]

You’re focusing on the wrong UGA TE. Brock Bowers is the generational TE that will probably declare in 2024.

 

[sevvy]

Imagine thinking we should draft a TE with our 2nd round pick.

 

[puckthefackers]

Bears need more talent on both lines and at WR b4 they can think of TE
