Swaim is the new Terrance Williams. Gets surprisingly good numbers compared to the eyeball test.

Why? How much resource would you put into covering either of them? If you're the 5th threat on the field, teams don't devote much resource to stopping you.

Congratulations to Swaim for playing 93% of the snaps. Being a 7th round pick and now the starting TE. Swaim has 11 catches and 1 TD.

These are the top 5 TEs from the 2018 draft class so far:
1st round pick Hurst of the Ravens hasn't even played yet. 2nd round pick Andrews of the Ravens has 10 catches and one TD. 2nd round pick Mike Gesicki of the Dolphins has 5 catches for 50 yards. Eagles 2nd round pick Dallas Goedert has 10 catches, 7 against that vaunted Colts defense. Texans 3rd round TE Jordan Akins has 7 catches.

I don't like spending a lot of resources on skill players (unless it's a transcendent talent like Zeke), but if we're going to use our TE as a full time player, we really need to invest in a better one than Swaim.

He has emerged as our only semi-reliable TE.

Swaim, you sir are no Jason Witten.

We need a playmaker at that position. Maybe Swaim develops further and can become a top 12 starter at the position, but I feel bad for whoever has to live in the shadow of an all-time football great in Jason Witten.

1. You don’t have to have a tight end, on the field to run the ball.

2. Knowing the team is a run first offense and the TE is so important. The fact they have 4 scrub TE’s on the roster is a joke. And that’s the fault of the front office and the coaches.
Even when Witten was here I didnt like the way they used him. I always felt they restricted his talent by making him a short yardage security blanket.

Problem is they want to feature a tight end, so looks like we are riding with swarm.

They need to upgrade the position in the offseason.

I’d hang on to swain though, try to turn him into our Hanna. Long time 2nd te, hopefully learns to block as well as him.
