calfoxwc Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Njoku is going to be outstanding, but what if he gets injured down the line? Maybe find this guy in the second or third round? With 3 picks in the second round, would a top TE fit be a good idea? 12/30/17: Goedert was a dangerous receiving threat the past two seasons for South Dakota State. The senior amassed 72 receptions for 1,111 yards and seven touchdowns in 2017. He put up even better production as a junior with 92 receptions for 1,293 yards and 11 touchdowns. Goedert has good size and athletic ability. He could help himself with a big week at the Senior Bowl.

Dutch Oven Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 The Browns have Seth Devalve too, who is a pretty good player to pair with Njoku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibleedbrown Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I think they need a primarily blocking TE before they need another pass catching TE. One that does both well is ideal of course, but how many times do those come around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 maybe...mid late rounds....or a mid level FA. To block as was said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Telfer was supposed to be that guy. Not sure he had a great season though. Actually, none of the TEs received great PFF grades for the year, but they're all young and hopefully can improve. I for one think the ceiling is highest for Njoku, but that's not exactly an outside the box thought. Nonetheless l would put a mauling TE as something to address in the draft and l think those can be had in later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 You can add another, but you aren't going to carry 4 TEs on the 53-man. Telfer is our dual TE at present, but Njoku is expected to develop blocking skill. Devalve? Not so much, but that's fine... Hard for me to see adding even a Day Three prospect this Draft. An UDFA for the PS? Absolutely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcam222 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I just can't see my way to using a pick at TE right now. To many other positions of need. Now if we could get something out of Devalve maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfBuddha Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Dorsey just signed TE Gavin Escobar from the Cowboys. FWIW, he was a 2nd rd pick in 2013 Tour called it. PS player with a chance to get on the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per wiki he was drafted by the 'Boys because they were disappointed with Martellus Bennett among other TEs. Turned out he could not win playing time over even lesser TEs. Most of his appearances were on STs. Not feelin' this one... but hey... "Football guy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njoku/Devalve/Telfer are very likely safe. I would like to see a late rounder or a UDFA with some blocking skills brought in to compete for a spot.

Hopefully both Njoku and DeValve improve to make taking a TE superfluous. If you need a blocking TE....I suspect a decent one can be had in free agency. But I don't know....the Browns may still like Telfer. He is their candidate for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award...and that actually means a lot to NFL teams I think. ERRR, actually, I guess they just did that with the signing of Escobar. Browns may be done at the TE spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
