I would have expected Justin Reid there or something like that to be honest, but they must like this guy. I can tell you one thing, the two TE set is going to be tough.

Goedert, yee haw!
One of my favorite players and the one player I've been pimping for a long time. Immediate impact player.

they went with the TE, that being said, could have gone with someone a little smoother than Akers to deliver that monologue, I say that as a person that used to go by the name TdAkers.
Akers was awesome

agree to disagree, liked the script he was going off of, though i felt it could have been delivered better, especially by the likes of eric allen who commented on spears dumb shit during the draft last year

I can't believe another TE was selected and it wasn't this guy. GREAT PICK!! And without doubt our #1 biggest need. Doug continues to show, that he recognizes the needs of the team. WOW, what a difference from the head scratch reaches Reid would do. I would have preferred Hurts, only because he was more ready to contribute immediately, and we are ready to go all in again THIS YEAR! But 1 of the 2 TE's we needed. Awesome job to still get him and get a 2nd round pick next year also. Risky, imho, as I would have just taken him at 1.32 - but AWESOME awesome job by the FO. Great pick. Really helps us. Now we have Burton's replacement. I just hope he gets up to speed fast. It's really hard for rookies, given they get so little camp time.

Now, get a RB or S in the 4th and we are golden for this year.

Wow, screwed Dallas as they were likely to take Witten's replacement ....
That was a huge F .. you to Dallas. LMAO.. That was epic and for David Akers to do his thing was classic. Jerrah on life support after the Birds moved right in front to steal their guy. Of all names ..Dallas.. OMG this is awesome! Great pick and probably the best TE in the draft.

We already had an incredible 2 TE set with Ertz/Burton. This is only maintaining that - and Goedert has some big shoes to fill. I really believe a strong 2 TE set is a staple to the success of the scheme Doug runs here. It massively helps us adjust to weaknesses at OL and WR at times.

Goedert is the total payment. Ourlads says; strongest, best hands, best blocker and cream of the crop.

I won't deny Goedert's value as a TE, I feel like it was a strong draft all around for them, and I know the scouts know better than I, but Williams seemed like a top cat from what I could tell for the OT position. worst case, he'd slide into OG. I say that only because I think there's still nice TE's. End of the day the draft is a shitty crap shoot that makes people feel good about their projections for the following season with no real basis.

At tackle we're 3 deep. If Seumalo doesn't figure it out, we got nothing backing up the inside.

3 deep now, but best case, i thought williams could have replaced him, again, it's all a crapshoot. i can only read projections. he could sound like a guy that could have fit in there eventually, still other OTs that are athletic that can do the same. i am excited to see their 2 TE sets. wonder if they drop Rodgers before the season starts.

Agree, but damn our offense is going to be very tough to cover. I
Akers was awesome
Akers won my vote for best roast of the year. He totally trolled the Cowboys fans and Jerrah in his house! Love Akers.

OK this round is where I could see us get a pick if we trade a player like Mychal Kendricks or Ronald Darby. I see Darby as unlikely now that the knucklehead Worley got his ass cut, but I still think it could happen, given that he is a FA at season's end.
