What would you all think of drafting Marvin Austin in maybe the second round? And also Polian has indicated he may pursue some free agents. Would you all like to have Sydney Rice? I think if that is possible at a reasonable price that would be a very nice addition.

We need to draft O lineman. We shouldn't anticipate having that many injuries again. With Tamme, Clark, Wayne, Gonzalez, Collie, and Garcon it's not likely that guys like Blair White will see too much of the field. We don't need another WR. Not with an early pick, anyways.

Also with a #22 pick you're likely to have a shot at the first or second Guard taken.

Healthy Gonzo over White any day. No brainer.

Gonzo isn't panning out, Tamme is inconsistent, Garcon has hands of stone at times, and Collie is a concussion machine.

This. Blair White isn't a star but he was consistent all year. Tamme is a solid 2nd receiving option at TE. Garcon is hit or miss, probably the most frustrating player all year for me. Gonzo, wouldn't be surprised if he was released and next year his contract is up either way.

Tamme inconsistent? I believe he had the most catches in the entire NFL for the 2nd half of the season.

He was basically a WR this season and he had a hell of a lot of drops.

I do remember a lot of drops this year, but not necessarily from him. I'd like to see the stats on that. Why is it so hard to find drop stats anyways? ESPN reports them when it's of interest (TO in Dallas), but I know of no place where you can find those stats.

Thanks, man. And I don't see Tamme on that list.

Tamme: 67 catches

TE's that are on the list...

Celek: 42 catches
Pettigrew: 71 catches
Gonzalez: 70 catches
Hernandez: 45 catches
Keller: 55 catches

Looks like Tamme had fewer drops per catch than the greatest TE ever. I'd say Tamme deserves a little more respect than this thread is offering.

He is a very good TE in the Colts scheme, he fits very well as a #2 behind Clark. I also think he would help many other teams. Most TE in the league now a more pass catchers than blockers anyway.

He had plenty enough drops to raise a question about his worth as a tight end considering he can't block to save his life and Dallas Clark is a better receiver.

And it's insanely shocking that a guy that missed 6 games isn't topping the charts for drops.

It's not about # of games it's about reception opportunities and he had a lot. You can play 16 games, but 1 drop means you suck if you have only 4 catches. Tamme had 67 catches which made him 6th in the league among TE's. I'd say that's 16 games worth.

Clark is of course much better, but with their powers combined we could put together some pretty dangerous packages. Collie and Wayne as wide outs, Clark on the end of the line, and Tamme in the slot. If teams go with 4 DB's we'll exploit them with the pass. If teams go with 5 DB's we'll do some decent running for a change.

Except Tamme does virtually nothing for the run game so you may as well just get a wide receiver.
