Do we really have room in this class for 2 TE'S assuming we get culp?
I believe both Dissly and Ajamu will be graduating so it makes sense. This staff has prioritized TE numbers more than any I can recall, but it obviously seems to be working for them.
We are essentially gaining 3 this year and only losing Darrell Daniels, however. I think that 1 is a necessity, but I wouldn't pass on depth a 3rd DT for another TE.
I understand that, I just think this staff obviously loading up on TE for a reason. Also, I think by UW roster numbers they subtracted Daniels and Lindquist from the TE depth, but I could be wrong on that.
I guess you're right about Lindquist. I knew he was technically a TE, but I thought it was more in name than anything. If that is the case, I guess 7 TEs is the number they're comfortable with.
Going two TE's in this class also allows them to take Culp and decide if he's really a receiver or a TE later. Really wouldn't be shocked if they recruit him at receiver and take 3 WR/1 TE, but in actuality they know he'll be moving to TE down the line. This has the double benefit of giving the kid what he wants AND getting more productivity out of #MyBush.
That is a very good point. Paopao is a solid recruiter, but it seems everyone who talks to #MyBush falls in love with the guy. Osborne, Spiker, Culp, and Peters would be a godly haul. Some think we need to secure one slot-type WR, which isn't necessarily a bad idea, but outside of Jones and Lenius (who doesn't really excite me) everyone is 6-1 and below. I don't mind getting all 6-3 and above guys this class. Obviously if we can pull Amon-Ra, or get Chase Williams or Michael Wilson as a secondary option if Spiker goes elsewhere, I'm fine with that too.
Why are you worried about Spiker going elsewhere?
I don't know how many TEs they will take this year, but I suspect they will only take a White TE if they have someone they really like. Peters is a stud, but he's going to have to be healthy. If he gets healthy it's a no brainer to take him, Culp, Osborne and Spiker.
I'm not a big Amon-Ra guy. His name is amazing, but he doesn't blow me away.
That mirrors what we use on offense.
