    Jordan is never healthy, you cant rely on him.

    What I hope doesn't happen is they think Stover can be the blocking TE.

    We don't have a blocking TE on the team. They're all awful at blocking.

    Not true

    Delp/Roush/Hardy from Nc State are all good blockers.

    No, but we need better competition.

    None but hopefully 1-2 of them will be after the draft.

    Ty Simpson could be the best quarterback in the draft. It’s odd how long it’s taken for another Simpson to be a well-known player in the NFL. It’s a relatively common surname. I wonder if a lot of Simpson parents in the last three decades have pushed their boys away from football.

    I believe Lachey has the potential to be a decent blocker after a year in our strength and conditioning program. His dad was 3-time All-Pro OL, some its in his DNA. We'll see if he's gotten stronger in OTAs/Training Camp. Still believe we need to add a rookie to compete though.

    Unless they get value by drafting a LB like Allen or Hill, both of whom might fall a bit.

    I want weapons that create mismatches. Three guys I like that will be available in the 3rd round and later are Trigg, Stribling, and Randall.

    I've already talked about Trigg and Randall.

    Stribling is 6'2" 207 and ran a 4.36... Will Fuller ran a 4.32 and was 2 inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter.

    Stribling is a deep threat and can get separation off the line for short routes. He's also explosive after the catch if he has any room, and a strong run blocker.

    I'd like to see him line up with Nico on the field. Let them roll coverage towards Nico and have Stribling burn them down the field.

    He should be available day 3.

    So why did you say that my previous statement wasn't true and then cited players in the 26' draft?
