My big question that started in FA and now went into the draft: who is going to replace Reed and Davis at TE? Who are they bringing in to try to raise up our TE’s group this year? They’ve added a bunch of unknown or mediocre TE’s but no one that appears to be a star or even an average TE’s in the NFL.

The other thing about having a bunch of nobodies at TE is that Rivera seems not to care. Cleveland got the best TE in FA, Hooper, because RR thought he was too expensive by a mill per year. Of course, he was willing to throw a couple extra mill per year for Amari Cooper over what Dallas paid. So we didn’t get anyone memorable in FA at TE.

Unfortunately, the TE group in the draft was thin, but the best TE left in the draft, Trautman, (Kmet was gone) was available with our #66 pick. We didn’t take him. My sense is that Rivera realizes he can’t fix everything in one season. Rivera and Kyle went with a WR at #66. Clearly the plan is to make our WR’s competitive and even with benign neglect with our TE, maybe some TE will surprise us and do well?

Another area of concern is the OL, but not as bad as the TE issues. Having a weak TE group will hurt the offense but I still think one or two TE will rise up this season. Our WR will carry this offense and we’ll also have a good ground game with Guice, AP and Love.

But Chase Young and Del Rio will help make this an outstanding DL and we’ll see the defense really surprise teams with its significant improvement. Chase will draw a lot of attention while Sweat will hit them from the other side. In the end, adding a potential superstar is the biggest event in the 2020. But, I also see MacLaurin continuing to rise up and having a stellar year. I boldly predict Haskins will also have a very god up year. We may have some holes in our team, but we have added some really good players in the last few drafts also.

As always in the TC, I’m looking for my favorite breakout rookie or second-year player who was hurt last year but wants to start. Hail!
