I’m not sure why but I trust this geek. This one is positive.

definitely a dweeb...dude looks like the closest he has been to a football field is the locker room cleaning up after the players. probably sneezes immediately upon going outside

We really do have a lot of Drama Queens here. How bout we wait and see what BJ does with 2 good TE’s?

That’s what everyone is going to do, doesn’t mean we can’t have initial reactions. That’s why this place exists. Also why blindly believe in anything this team does? They have not earned that yet.

That said I’m tired of winning in April, I want to win in September - February. If this is Johnson’s guy which I think it is then let’s go!

 

[Enasic]

Keep him as the most expensive #2 TE in the league rather than free up $9m with very little dead cap?

Don't think so.

The bears don’t have a cap issue. Is it possible they cut him? Sure…just don’t think that’s the route they go. They’ll keep him or trade him…could probably get a comp pick for him by letting him play out his contract and leaving in FA.

wtf zero chance Kmet goes anywhere. This kid on paper is a perfect compliment to Kmet’s skills. Johnson runs 2 TEs more than anyone in the league. This is great for Kmet.

I guess I just don’t get it. The whole instant reaction thing to me is for teenagers.
I didn’t want Warren at 10. I like Loveland more than Warren but still didn’t want him at 10. I also know that I don’t know shit.

 

[kerschbs]

We'll see how they use him, but he should be involved.

500 yards and 5 TDs, as long as other players are performing, seems decent enough.

Agree, especially considering we still have Kmet. As an aggregate if we get 1000 yards and 10 TD’s out of our two tight ends our offense is probably humming.

My thoughts exactly

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I'm predicting at least 1700 yards and 17 TDs

Don't think so.

Also, a team trading for him would have to pay him 10mil next year.

This is a very long, but good breakdown between Warren and Loveland. I found it interesting it is on Yahoo as I didn’t know they were still in business.

 

[remydat]

He will have no trade value because he will be an obvious cut. Almost no guaranteed money and one year left.

He would have 2 years left ie 2026 and 2027.

Whether he stays probably depends on how productive his is. If he is still getting like 500 yards or so then keeping him at 11.6m isn't a huge issue.

It’s definitely irrational and emotional. Men don’t have many outlets to act this way, football is one of them. That stress has to get released somewhere.

 

[Xplosive]

I would way rather this have played out to be Bowers/Egbuka vs Odunze/Loveland. Leave it to Poles to take the 2nd best TE, and at 10 to boot, and one with an injury.

Its way too soon to jump to any conclusions. They added another playmaker and offensive weapon. Nothing is wrong with that.

 

[LIBlue]

So Ben Johnson likes running two tight and sets. So the first thing all the Yahoos do here is go ahead and try to get rid of Kmet. They drafted a tight end in the first round so let’s cut the other guy. Who is our second tight end and by the way? Loveland on both nfl.com and an ESPN was ranked as the number seven prospect in the entire draft so he was also selected at the right spot. But hey, let’s reach for a nonexistent left tackle because then we know we wasted topic and have to draft a left tackle next year again.

 

[Xplosive]

He just needs to gain muscle!….Can’t lift weights cause he just had shoulder surgery. That’s my main issue, combined with a pretty good edge prospect staring them in their face that went the next pick to the 49ers.

He's much bigger than Bowers (6'4 230)...
His size is fine.

What about his hair style? Cause Bowers has my favorite cut.

The Friar Fade will never go out of style...

Or is it a Mullet with a Moonroof?

How good was it for Hockenson when Laporta was drafted?

 

[Washington]

Terrible value at #10 and injured coming off surgery.

 

[Xplosive]

Terrible value at #10 and injured coming off surgery.

He's likely going to play a starters amount of snaps, help in pass protection and run blocking, and put points on the board.

Thats good value. Positional value doesn't override team need and this team needs more playmakers
