PSU TE Tyler Warren

[Mr_437]

If you want a WR, you have to be open to a playmaking TE. I'm DL, RB, OL...but I would see why the pick would be made for Warren.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Nothing wrong with Ferguson.

It always astounds me that people will harp on a receiver’s production but then not look at the obvious reason…who’s throwing him the ball.

Our receivers numbers were down across the board…that includes CeeDee Lamb.

Why?

Cooper Rush.

This isn’t rocket science.

You could of had Randy Moss running routes in his prime out there and he wouldn’t put up the numbers with Rush at QB.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Kid is going to be good in the nfl. If we don't have "our guy" at 12, I'd 100% trade back a few spots and pick him.

Given this is a weak draft, I expect Warren to go in the top 12-15 picks.

 

[John813]

Depends on how the draft falls. Not a huge fan high up in the draft, but I'm sure with the hits of Bowers, LaPorta(high 2nd) and a few others it's swinging back to take these TE's with some skill higher up

 

[atlantacowboy]

I like the player but its a luxury pick we can't afford. This team is in dire need of a CB to replace Diggs. You can't dumpster dive your way into replacing Diggs.

 

[Ekspozed]

Based on the teams picking after us I think he goes 17 to the Bengals unless a team trades up for him.

 

[Sydla]

Any interest in him with our first rounder?

Could be a dynamic playmaking player in the NFL.

I like Ferguson and he’s probably a top 8 TE but he is upgradable imo.

Especially for a guy like this.

I like him a lot.

I also can't use the 12th pick on a TE. No matter how great he looks in college, there are very few TEs that are game changers in the NFL. With that in mind, I can't justify the 12th pick on a TE when we have gaping holes along the DL, need real talent at the S position, have nothing besides a competent back tailback in the running back room.

I guess if the board is wiped, sure.

But to me, you also have to weigh overall improvement. In other words, Warren likely is an upgrade on Ferguson. But Ferguson is a good TE so the gap (or level of improvement) is not as great as say going from Mazi Smith to a great DT. So to me, if there is a big time DL prospect there and Warren, I am going DL because they level of improvement over what we have will have a bigger impact on the team than going from Ferguson to Warren.

As stated before.......I'm warming to him, fast

He's different.

He's a weapon. This team needs weapons. But they also need upgrades in the trenches.

He probably won't be my first choice when we are on the clock but he's a clear upgrade over Ferguson. Who isn't much more than a league average starter.

 

[stinkface]

Fergie was awful this year. Drops galore and mental mistakes. He regressed in a big big way. Thought he would further elevate his game this year, but it was a huge step back.

 

[Tabascocat]

I like him but not at #12. I might go ballistic if another TE is drafted early.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Way too many needs to be looking at a te in any round. Especially the 1st round lol

 

[DoctorChicken]

To the “too many needs” folks, I have a question -

Would you rather draft a good prospect at a position of need, or an elite prospect at a position that may not be a glaring need?

Should teams use the draft to acquire talent, or merely to plug existing holes?

Elite, always elite.

 

[JustChip]

As a running back.

Didn’t they want him to be a TE and he balked? Then went to the Raiders and became an outstanding TE. Don’t remember why he balked; maybe he didn’t like his chances since the team already had Cosby & Dupree.

Always elite. But if there is one than 1 elite available when you’re on the clock, you go the one of greater need.

 

[CATCH17]

We need to figure out how to put points on the board.

If our first 2 picks were Warren and Henderson we would be a much more dynamic offense immediately.

 

[CATCH17]

We need everything.

Can’t just say we need a corner.

 

[atlantacowboy]

We need everything.

Can’t just say we need a corner.

I know. But, TE is down the list. You can address that position in other rounds. CB, DE, OT.......those are spots best addressed in round 1, particularly
with the 12th pick.
