Michael Egnew...

Draft a Missouri TE this is what you get. Not shocking. The kid will never block, he needs to be used in space as a slot TE really. Match him up on linebackers. He will never be a good blocker most likely. Not his game. Or it will take 2-3 years of hard work so he is a project who can do one thing well hopefully. Get open.

This isn't shocking.
 
Reminds me of of the comparison shopping theory I often use in sports betting: I'm supposed to give 7 points to an opponent that can actually play, when last week I had the same team minus 7 points against a stiff? No thank you. There have to be superior investments.

Michael Egnew at pick 78, two years after Jimmy Graham went 95th. It felt like a forced pick. And we'll see more of the same across the league as teams become desperate to nab cheap jump-and-catch yards across the middle of the field, following the lead of New England and others.

Nobody actually wants to work for anything these days, the Lombardi seam here and seam there approach. The young lazy coaches who view Mike Leach as role model happily receive one gift after another, courtesy of rules changes that further limit defenses and enhance their laziness.

I didn't have much of an opinion on Egnew, other than the automatic buyer beware of anyone thriving amidst Big 12 passing. Big 12 teams field the allowable number of defenders, mostly as an annoyance.

My problem with the Egnew pick, stated on draft day, was that TY Hilton was still there. We've got to stop pretending that Bess is an acceptable slot guy, or that return game specialists can be acquired on the cheap. I also opined before the draft that Olivier Vernon was decent 4th round value but some of the ratings like Mayock's were getting carried away when they had Vernon considerably higher. Once we reached somewhat for Vernon, and apparently Egnew, it threw the late picks out of whack.

No one has mentioned that Egnew facially resembles my next door neighbor, albeit two decades younger. He can't catch either, but has stolen a few things and owes me 20 bucks. It's always 20 or 40.

BTW, several times during this post I had to retreat and change Agnew to Egnew. Spiro was quite the character during my youth, the Paul Ryan of his day.

I am seldom dissatisfied after reading your posts.
 
Does he even deserve to make it to the practice squad? This guy sucks! His strength is suppose to be a pass catching TE and he can't even seem to do that, let alone block. He was a 3rd round pick...do we cut a 3rd round pick???

I hope we cut him. He shows absolutely nothing. He isnt even worthy of practice squad.

I agree with you about Bess, and I get hammered for that belief regularly, which is fine. As a receiver and a punt return man he's good enough to make you average, he doesn't demand double teams, he doesn't offer any form of synergy and he hardly gives opposing defenses something to fear. He's pedestrian- competent, but pedestrian. And that's not good enough, he is not the answer imo.

You mentioned TY Hilton, who I am well aware of as I spend most of my time in south Florida. Very good player, I liked him coming out, but the guy who captured my attention as a replacement for Bess in the slot and as the PR was Joe Adams. And he could have been had with the Egnew pick, with the Lamar Miller pick and with our 4th rd pick before we traded up for Miller as well. I'm willing to give Egnew some time and I like Lamar Miller quite a bit, but I think that Joe Adams could have really helped this team. Hilton as well, but my choice would have been Joe Adams.
 
The fact that you are crowing over a claim that a rookie is a bust 2 weeks in to the preseason tells me all I need to know. That and the fact that you bet a grand on the Jets making the Super Bowl last year. :lol2:

oh lord...3 musketeers is back...
 
Hoops. Please tell me u didn't. I would of tried to talk you out of it. I made a killing taking the under in wins last year and I never bet football unless its as close to a sure thing as it can be to me

yeah i put a grand each in vegas last offseason on the jets ravens and saints all at over 10/1 odds...i had a real shot with the ravens til damn lee evans dropped the gamewinner against the pats in the afc champ game...

no biggie though...
 
Jim Graham has an all world QB
we do not

Is there a point there? If you could do it over again, would you not draft Jimmy Graham with our pick in the 3rd rd, especially over John Jerry? What about Aaron Hernandez? Hindsite is as always 20/20, but there's no getting around it- Drew Brees or no Drew Brees, Jimmy Graham was a phenomenal pick. IIRC Parcells deemed it wiser to pass on Graham in the 3rd because of the "project" element and wanted him in the 4th rd, which was obvioulsy too late. The rest is history.
 
I was hoping for a WR, we passed on it twice with a RT who doesn't look strong enough to play in the NFL and a TE who might not make the team.

I don't mean to be negative, but it doesn't make sense to me.
 
i dont get why people keep saying taht only his blocking needs to be worked on as a project.

we all knew that going in.

most people were fine with that since they truely beleive non tight ends block at all and thats ok anymore LMFAO

BUT at this point - the guy cant even catch the football WHEN OPEN. that is a serious serious problem.
 
I liked the Egnew pick, and would be fine with him on the Practice Squad. But honestly, our TE situation is very bad. Fasano is competent, but after that it's just embarassing. Mastrud should not be in this league, let's just start there. Les Brown's measurables sure don't seem to translate to the field. Neither Egnew nor Brown looks like a real pass-catching TE to me. The reality is that we'll likley keep 4 TE's ... so I'm hoping we scour the waiver wire for some TE help, because this group just isn't cutting it. Especially when you consider most teams are fielding 2 good TE's to mix-up defenses coverage assignments. So, Egnew or Brown to the Practice Squad I'd be fine with, but I'm hoping to upgrade the roster.
