Joe Staley mangini guy

why would you turn one of the top LT prospects of this years draft to a TE?

It is much easier to draft a decent TE than it is a good LT. Staley is projected to go Late 1st into the 2nd round.

 

I think you're crazy. This guy is probably the 2nd or 3rd best OT prospect in this year's draft. Why change a guy's position from one where he has huge talent and upside to one where he may or may not fit?

 

jtrain isnt having a good day

 

jtrains offseason threads :grin:

 

Wow..... just wow. I can't even.... wow.... Dude, take the rest of the day off. Go get some ice cream. Talk to a priest. Something.

 

Jonny you crazy, Jtrain probably simulated the move in Madden, and found out hes a 99 OVERALL! Mangini and Co would be stupid not to do this

 

Are you suggesting receiver eligible tackle or full time TE?

 

something we dont know about Staley.... CAN HE CATCH?

might want to make sure of that before you go converting a top OT prospect to TE

 

Notice in jtrains threads he responds to like the first guy who refutes him but then when everyone goes against him he kinda just disapears...

 

Well Jamarcus Russell has good size why don't the Raiders move him to end?

 

The jtrains haven't been that abundant this offseason. I bagged a few last week but I'd be lucky to make some mittens out of their scrawny pelts. Hell, last offseason alone I bagged enough jtrains to make a few cloaks and carpet my den.

 

There is so much more to being a Tight End than running a 4.75 40-time... So much more.......

How about this guy? I remember watching him on the MSU b-ball team. If he can gain some weight, he looks like a big target.
A big question is his blocking.

 

Other than being 6-6, there really isn't anything great about him from what I've heard, which is too bad.

In terms of weaknesses...
"Does not run good routes or know how to get open...Work ethic and intelligence are question marks...Hands and focus are shaky......Lacks toughness and he may not have a football player's mentality...Marginal blocker...Does very little after the catch...Has some trouble staying healthy...Might have to make a position change."

That covers just about everything it takes to be a successful WR.

 

we should also bring Brick in to block punts - what with his long arms and all.

 

He has straight line speed, but in no way does he have any chance at making the lateral movements that a tightend needs to make at that size.

 

Haha, c'mon man. It isn't even worth acknowledgement.

 

Maybe on tackle-eligable trick plays... But that's about it.
