Lets go with TE next

1) Rob gronkowski- No explanation needed
2)Jimmy Graham- Alot of people think hes gonna tail off. Wilson is passing more, and has mediocre WR. He becomes the #1 target in a passing game on the rise, with beast mode to take some heat off him. He will be HEAVILY used in the redzone
3)Travis Kelce-Rare talent, who really came on last year, should improve
4)Martellus Bennett- Physical freak who finally put it together, and Cutlers #2 target
5)Julius Thomas-Bortles will improve, and hes got a good young cast around him, this is now his security blanket
6) Greg Olsen-I believe Funchess hurts his value alot......
7)Zach Ertz- His time is now
8)Jordan Reed- Was awesome when healthy, and bulked up.....
9)Tyler Eifert-Great pass catcher, was injured, and no competition for playing time now
10)Owen Daniels-Manning Loves his TE
11)Jason Witten-On the decline, but consistently reliable
12)Josh Hill-no graham, oppurtunity knocks
13)Eric Ebron-High draft pick, put up or shut up
14)Vernon Davis-torrey smith should open him up a bit
15)Dwayne Allen-Supreme talent, lots of mouths to feed in Indy though
16) Antonio Gates-injuries, concerns of snap count, count me out
17)Kyle Rudolph-The trendy sleeper bombed last year, so hes gonna have to show it to me first
18)Delanie Walker-Erratic at times, rookie qb, not sure??
19)Larry Donnell-Will be serviceable, Eli trusts him
20)Jace Amarao- Sans Rex he will be better

This list i think is way off alot of consensus lists

This list i think is way off alot of consensus lists

After the first two , it's a scrum. No way to be actually way off, even if results say otherwise, because none of us have a clue to be honest.

That's pretty much the truth.

Only thing I know is that I won't be drinking the Kool aid on Vernon or Bennett, unless they fall hard...both have always been more hype than results

not true davis has had some monster years

Bennett like i said finally put it together

90 catches, 968 yards, 6td's is not hype

 

[TREFF]

Ok..let's put it this way. ..they both have lots and lots of hype every year. ..and very few years with real results. Smart money is in a return to being a tease for Bennett. Long on physical gifts. Short on results. ..at least more often than not

ill concur there.......

Bennet im bullish on though, i think he was learning, and raw,which was the reports on him

Look at his last 3 years, since he left dallas and got a real shot

2012) 55 rec, 626 yards, 5td
2013) 65 rec, 750 yards, 5td
2014) 90 rec, 916 yards, 6 tds

improvements every year for three straight years and respectable production all three...........

just a thought

 

[Yellow Fuzzies]

Not bad at all SP..only. one id take real exception to is Peyton..just don't see captain flutter ball having a great season under Kubiak

Actually its more the pathetic arm strength, the inability to even throw a spiral more than five yards downfield, the age, the neck issues, and the unhappy DT, than it is Kubiak's running game, but yeah that too

I am afraid that Treff may be right with Peyton. The declining arm strength is particularly concerning. He has been able to compensate for the arm strength his whole career with his extraordinary accuracy, but I am afraid that even his accuracy won't be enough to compensate.

As others have stated above most beyond Jimmy and Gronk could end up anywhere
I'll check In with

I think Jimmy G takes his 1 spot back
I believe Kelce is a solid 3 and doesn't belong in the After Gronk/Jimmy group.

as for the rest I also like Bennett to be a potential top 5

a risky call as Hill has the job as his own now and The Saints appear to be changing. Yet as a Lifetime Jimmy G owner I was peeved every time Josh stepped onto the field I love what I have seen in him
as I said risky but if the Saints can still move the ball I see Josh easily inside top 10 and maybe as high as 5 (My Foot call come and get me)


thus I like your top 10 but I have Hill in and Reed out always hurt

As for my fave ol Texan. Daniels could fall hard or rocket up. I love his gamer attitude yet injuries follow him and can Peyton stay healthy If they both do Peyton may come to realize the gamer that I know Owen is

The one player that stands out as missing for me is J Cameron. who should excel in Miami

maybe if Cook wakes up he and Foles may also connect and make the top 20

Nice work Steeler good read. Keep em coming

If you swap the write-up of Ertz and Rudolph, then you've got how I feel between those two. Lots of things derailed Rudolph last year while Ertz just came up small. I'm all in with Hill, count me among those who see a top 10 TE with big upside. Also - Walker and Allen will be in my personal top 12, while I'll leave out Reed and Eifert.
