Rams TE without Kendricks

[Merlin]

Jake butt round 4

That would be a great pick IMO, that plus an impact round 1 type talent at our round 2 pick to kick things off (CB, DE, LB, WR whichever is highest on board). Then I pray a Center in round 3 or 5.

 

[OldSchool]

For a team that threw well over 600 passes and probably 60% to WR, I would doubt that...

Kee in mind their 3rd TE had 2 receptions but Chris Thompson had more receptions than TE #2 Vernon Davis. They probably ran out of that formation a lot. Three TE a fb and an RB isn't unheard of.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the only time a WR wasn't on the field was short yardage, goal line or victory formation.

Just for reference that 184 might seem like a big number but in that 2 years they ran 2020 plays. That's 9% of plays and an average of 5.75 times a game. Two 3rd or 4th and one and a 1st and goal at the 1 and you can easily have 5 plays with 3 TE and 2 RB. Just as easily as you can imagine a passing offense putting a 3rd TE with 2 catches on the year over a RB with 50 catches or a 3rd WR with 56 receptions.

I'd go rookie as well, if anything. We currently have Higbeast, Hemingway and Harkey. I like that potential.

And lots of empty backfield.

Time to play the game!

No doubt the Rams TE unit needs some more pieces when you look at the whole unit and their 2016 statistics. We all know that Hig & Tam were rookies and that stats don't tell the future but............

Something doesn't quite feel right when you look at the current tight ends on the 2017 roster?


Tight Ends 2016 Stats

Tyler Higbee
Rec 11 Yards 85 YPC 7.7 TD 1

Cory Harkey

Tamarrick Hemingway

Bryce Williams

I like Jake Butt or Jeremy Sprinkle of Arkansas.

[Ramhusker]

Bucky Hodges from VT?

 

[den-the-coach]

Or...Rams Sprinkle a Butt whipping on 49ers!

If Fisher knew how to utilize TE's they might of had a chance to tie us in the superbowl. That should of been a lesson learned, and we expected him to do great for us when his grand scheme was to sabotage us.

 

[OnceARam]

Addition by subtraction. Glad he won't be taking reps from Higbee.

 

[Ram Pat]

With our new HC keen on utilizing the TE, I wonder if we should pursue Luke Wilson to go along with Higbee. One less position of need in draft and he's a great locker room guy and very productive.

Thoughts?

Evan Engram move TE Ole Miss, use like Jordan Reed...but better. Go look at his film! Hope he is there at 37!

Dude wth is wrong with you? Luke Wilson? I don't think Owen Wilsons' brother is going to help us much at TE...

[LACHAMP46]

Haven't seen him. I'll have to look into his profile

And finally...finish where we started.....probably see him against the #1 overall pick

I've been loving evan engram as of late
