Biggest Impact Player from Free Agency or NFL Draft this coming 2019 Season?

Signing a free agent TE who is a legit dual threat would be huge.

He wouldn't even have to be a star or elite, just someone who can block their butt off and catch a pass in the flat would be a huge upgrade and translate to so many other aspects of the offense.

a.k.a. Role Player. I think Flanigan might be able to do what you want. I'm looking forward to seeing how he looks this season. I think our running game would be more effective if we used a FB more. Flanigan could play that role, as well.

Speaking on that, O line might improve and the 3 headed combo of guice, CT and AP should prove fierce..... If our play callers and offensive game planners can fucking call more than 10 different run plays in the season.

You want Gruden to change his ways? Never gonna happen. He is the most predictable play caller ever.

Ereck Flowers to prove he should have been playing guard since he was drafted.


:oink:

One of the best battles in camp will be seeing Wes Martin going against Ionnadis, Allen, Payne and Settle. This going to a telling sign if Martin is the one to claim the LG position. Should be awesome to watch the battles.

I’d have to give that honor to Sweat. I don’t foresee him having a double digit sack season (I hope I’m wrong there), but I think the he will raise up the entire defensive front level. We should have a stout D for a couple years. As of now I think we have 7 should be starters under 25.

Haskins or one the WRs has the chance to have the most visible impact though. Time will tell

TE will have to be addressed next year. No one on the street in May is going to come in and make a big difference.

We just have to pray Reed stays healthy and Davis can play better

We just have to pray Reed stays healthy and Davis can play betterWould you ever put Reed in line?

I would just put him in the slot and put him as far away as possible from blocking a DE. He isn't a TE, he is a big physical receiver with strong hands and really good route running skills.

And do nothing but work on short passes with Sprinkle and Flanagan.

this guy would

id cut VD and sign him

The Raiders released tight end Lee Smith after four seasons, the team announced Thursday.

Smith, 31, was Oakland’s primary blocking tight end in the running game. He appeared in all 32 games over the past two seasons with 13 starts

Smith was a vocal presence in the Raiders’ locker room. In October, with the Raiders at 1-5, Smith gave a speech to media at his locker in defense of quarterback Derek Carr, who was drawing criticism following a blowout loss to the Seahawks in London

graded out as one of the top blocking TE last 5 years. he can catch.

^ interesting. Yet I don't think the team will cut VD and make a move here.
