Please be mindful of your fellow posters. Don't use the game day thread to vent or call out fellow posters as either homers or haters. It's obnoxious and ruins the thread. Plenty of time for new threads after the game for expressing your point of view.

There are levels to the TE debate. One one hand, the market value of the position hurts the value of an early R1 TE. With the rookie wage scale, they come into the NFL already making good money for the position, so there's no real surplus value. On the other hand, the TEs that you would want to build around don't make it to FA, so the market value doesn't matter as much. So getting one when you can is important. But then you also see that there are great TEs taken past R1 as well. Plus, then you have to consider the scheme. Committing a big contract to a RB seems to suggest that this team will be running the ball quite often. How often would they take advantage of Bowers? We saw this unfold in ATL. They spent early R1 draft capital on a TE and a WR...and then ran the ball all the time. So those picks have largely not been maximized. It seems like the Bowers debate is fully dependent on him falling to #15. Then we can see how he ranks over other prospects available. -

I literally think the only player in this class Ballard would give up a future 1st for would be Marvin Harrison Jr, and that's if Irsay told him to do so. -
I don't see any scenario where they are giving up next year's R1 pick. It would be an opportunistic trade up that they can likely spread over this draft and next draft. The MOST we have seen Ballard additionally give up in trade-ups is a mid-late R5 pick. Tyquan, JT, Cross. For him to give up even a Day 2 pick would be out of character. So it would have to be quite the opportunity.

So you would take Bowers over the top corner and/or edge or do you mean if they were equal value? Bowers looks good on tape but his size scares me a little for a team that is intent on running the ball. I think we have a lot of flash TE's on this roster already that need some time to develop with Richardson. You look at the TE room and I do some talent there but need time. I look at the corner and edge room and I go meh!! -

Free agency tells you a lot where a team is going in the draft. They really see the need for a true rush end and even corner
