GBN 2019 Declared Juniors...So Far

Decent crop of OL prospects...watershed year on the DL...if we could get OL in the first, and a guy like Fant in the second...O could get a nice lift...
Some one else who likes a TE...

The fact we tried to trade for Tyler Higbee further leads me to believe TE is on our draft radar...we need a legit threat when both WRs are doubled, Rudy is not that threat...
Agree on the TE need. I think they have been trying to fill it with Mychale Pruitt, Bucky Hodges, and Tyler Conklin, but they have to spend a higher pick. Last year we could have grabbed Ian Thomas or Chris Herndon (or Mark Andrews with a little trade upwards) in the 3rd round...but oh, we always need to trade our 3rd round pick so we have extra 5th and 6th rounders to get guys like Dan Carlson or Colby Gossett.
IMO a fast versatile TE would help Cousins (and Diggs and Thielen) almost as much as an OG.
@"Jor-El" said:Adding more weapons will definitely help and prevent defenses from isolating Diggs/Thielen. A field stretching TE would do that but a better 3rd WR option would help just as much. There was a reason last off-season they had looked at Dante Pettis, Anthony Miller, etc..Agree on the TE need.

Conklin actually is thought of pretty highly and showed some flashes near the end of the season. If the right guy is available maybe they strike but maybe they lean more towards WR than TE this time around. TBD.
All I can say is from the length of that list there's going to be a whole lot of guys this May who aren't as rich as they'd planned.
