[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 527371, member: 2232"] Your ELITE TE's you mentioned: Packers could have had Gronkowski and Graham as neither was a 1st round pick. Packers could have had Tony Gonzalez. Packers could have had Julius Thomas as he was a day-3 draft pick. I wouldn't call him elite though, and in fact Jermichael Finley was better than he was..... I've just never ever seen anything in any of these other handful of TE's we have to make me think we have a guy at TE who defenses have to account for. Here's an early Mock Draft Pick for the Packers next year. First round pick, they have us taking: [ATTACH=full]11740[/ATTACH] [B] Green Bay Packers: Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech [/B] [IMG]http://walterfootball.com/college/TexasTech_logo.gif[/IMG] With Jermichael Finley heading for free agency (or disability), Green Bay could grab a replacement. [B]Jace Amaro[/B] has been fantastic this year, and he's the top tight end if he leaves Texas Tech. [B]Troy Nikolas[/B] from Notre Dame is THE MAN that I want. I saw him play in person this year here in the Jerry Dome vs ASU and he was a man among boys. He showed big soft hands, and just was too big and strong to handle. He's raw, like Jimmy Graham was for the Saints. But he's stronger than Graham, not as fast probaby. Here are a few things about Nikolas (again, I have to learn NOT to get my hopes up on any player because we never ever take the guy I want!) [url]http://www.csnchicago.com/notre-dame/troy-niklas-becoming-elite-weapon-notre-dame[/url] [SIZE=7]Troy Niklas becoming elite weapon for Notre Dame[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]11741[/ATTACH] <THAT was the game, play, I saw in person. He's like a power forward being guarded by a point guard, or shooting guard. HERCULES is a good nickname for him. "I think I'm good right now, but [B]I think there's another level I can reach[/B]," he said. This guy reminds me a little bit of the big man Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots, only a little bit more mature. [SIZE=6][B]Notre Dame's Niklas is intimidating tight end[/B][/SIZE] [url]http://bostonherald.com/sports/college/college_football/2013/11/notre_dames_niklas_is_intimidating_tight_end[/url] [IMG]http://gamedayr.com/wp-content/slideshow/2013/05/ten-players-you-haven-t-heard-of-but-will-be-toasting-in-2013/full/2013-college-football-preview-players-to-watch-niklas-570x775.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=6][B]Man of Troy[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=5][B]Junior Troy Niklas seeks to become the next in a line of legendary Irish tight ends[/B][/SIZE] [url]http://www.ndsmcobserver.com/polopoly_fs/1.3059808!/image/2768915162.jpg[/url] [IMG]http://www.ndsmcobserver.com/polopoly_fs/1.3059808!/image/2768915162.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_260/2768915162.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
