Of who is out there I would like to see us go with one of these 3:

1. Dennis Pitta
2. Leonard Pope
3. Ben Watson

Watson is the best athlete of the bunch but is in his 9th year. Pope has the size to give us a huge red zone target. Pitta is only going into his 4th year and has huge upside.

Ireland needs to make a move on a TE after striking out on Cook. I would be happy with either of these guys.

Pitta is a FA?

Brandon Myers is my choice right now, balanced TE with a bad attitude (and I mean that in a good way). Farentz connection.

Myers has been identified as one of the sleepers of the group. I like Davis, the redskin. But I believe the draft is in play here.

Myers is my top choice, but if Fred Davis is healthy I think he is an excellent option. Davis can play at an extremely high level

Seeing as we are apparently against anyone over the age of 29, I'd say Watson has like a 5% chance of being signed by the Dolphins

there should be a good te in the draft still there at our 1st 2nd round pick seems like most likely option

I like the idea of Myers. Under the radar guy. Only played 4 years. 27 years old. His stats were equal with Heath Miller last year. If we landed him, we'd have landed 4 new starters all 27 or under. That would be pretty sick!

I'd take Finley for Bess and a 4th rounder. But, Green Bay and Bess? Don't know that that would be a match.

If we landed Myers that would free us up to go TE in round 2 and go OG or WR (even after a potential trade down) or possibly a CB like Milliner if he's there, in round 1.

Myers would be a good pickup for us.

I don't see the love for Brandon Myers. Slow, unathletic, had some garbage time production, I just don't get it.

Fred Davis is very interesting to me if his Achilles is healing properly. That's a big IF but at tight end I'm not sure it's the same risk it is for a corner like Brent Grimes who is undersized and made his career on his ability to be faster and more explosive than everyone.

Ben Watson is the other guy that intrigues me. Still athletic. Back in the day he ran a 4.4. Probably doesn't run that now but he's still athletic and it shows. He gets the job done and he'll probably be affordable because everyone wants the young guy.

To me, this is just downgrading from Fasano.

The very best tight ends are already gone, with Keller being the only interesting option left, at least interesting to me. At this point either you trade for someone or just draft Eifert at 12.

Not sure I agree on Myers, but I agree with you on Davis. I preferably want my tight ends in the draft.

I really think that the team needs to look at Keller. He's fairly young, and a better pass catcher than anyone the team has had at the position in years. We cant go into the draft with the gaping hole at the position that we have right now. Its just too much of a risk. Even with the addition of Wallace, the team still doesnt have a good res zone target.

I agree, I don't get why everyone is wants this guy. I never even heard of the dude until like half way through last season, I wouldn't want him.

Finley... maybe... although having both he and Wallace on the field together is going to infuriate some but energize others.
