[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 866542, member: 6578"] I broke down a few TE options not named Hooper/Henry before but I've boiled it down to these only anymore: [B]*Blake Jarwin - [/B]Is my pick [albeit forced] of the bunch I'm listing. I remember liking him when he came out what seems like years ago now, but he is young (25) and is a pass catching TE that shows promise and seems to take steps forward each year. IF the Cowboys don't tender him or it is low enough tender, I believe GB should definitely consider him. Pair him with a Marcedes signing and you instantly have a TE room with a solid blocking veteran, a promising high draft pick, a developing Tonyan and now an experienced pass catching TE that is still young offering a future. Go watch some tape of him...so long as you don't expect to see the next HoF tight end, I sense you may like what you're seeing. [B]**Tyler Eifert -[/B] This is my runner up darkhorse.
