The David Martin experiment failed miserably which means we are looking for a TE that can stretch the field and be an effective weapon. Which of these tight ends would you guys prefer and why?

Fred Davis, Martin Rucker, John Carlson

fred davis would be great...he will be the best TE in the League and he blocks..

John Carlson, the guy does it all and has prototypical size.
 
I think we could get John Carlson later in the draft because of the off year that ND had but to get Fred Davis we would have to take him within the 1st round and at the latest the 2nd.
 
i think i like Rucker a little more than Davis... Davis is a questionable head, who gets lazy finishing off patterns and isnt the ideal down the field TE option either.
 
While I really like Fred Davis, I don't see us taking a TE that high with so many available in this draft. My preference is the prototypical H-Back Jacob Tamme in the 4th, quote from Draft Scout:

Dallas Clark type, I hope! :D
 
I'd either go with Fred Davis (Even though USC sucks, that's the only player and Joe McNight whom I like from USC)

Or Bennett out of Texas A&M (I Hate Aggies. This is coming from a HUGE Texas fan)

I'd prefer Davis though, but Bennett can be nice also, either one would suit me.
 
If we dont take a CB with the 2a pick then Fred Davis would be a good pick up
 
JED........... i agree with you on Tamme too.

Rucker and Tamme are the two guys i like... both kind of the same style and type of TE.



are you Jed Weaver???
