[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 552833"] I get the Collins thing. We also had Bishop. The thing is we're paying Burnett like he's Collins so he's going play. He'll get a full second hearing to prove his worth. I have full confidence Hyde would be a better safety day 1 than Peprah ever was. So, going for a safety when there are other serious needs seems to me like a non-starter, particularly since there are no Ronnie Lotts in this draft. Even when Finley was healthy, Rodgers used his TEs primarily as a decoys. Unless Thompson allows his receiving corp to deplete, I have a very hard time seeing TE becoming central to the passing game as in NO or NE. We're going 3 wide and looking down field, like always. Besides, Quarless looked pretty good when he had a QB that liked going to his TE. Quarless' problem is he's not a good blocker...just like the top TEs in this draft. In terms of "immediate" 2013 production, we'd get more out of Quarless in 2013 than any of these rookie TEs who need to go through the leaning curve. Among the 3 immediate needs you listed, I'd put the yet-to-be-found Bishop replacement at the top of the list. I never got PFF's 2012 rating on Jones (really, PFF?!). I would not call him "terrible"; just not good enough to be playing next to the mediocre Hawk. He needs to go to the bench and work off his dead cap money there. I think we need to go with Moseley if he's still on the board and look for a WR and a cover corner in the second and third. We could certainly use a S for depth and to handle the circumstance of Burnett blowing up for good in 2014. [/QUOTE]
