How we feeling about our TEs? Does everyone fit in or could someone be on the move? Who leads the team in receptions/yds/tds?

RW didn't really use TEs much in the Seattle offense so not sure how he will adjust to this new system and also not sure what emphasis Hackett will put on the TE position, that said, I think the TEs are fine at this point and time, especially with the mismatches Albert O can create -
He can’t see over the line. That’s the one problem I have watching Seattle offense. That part of the field got ignored…and likely for a reason.Originally posted by Tombstone RJ View Post
they will have to incorporate TE in the pass game. If they don’t DCs will be tipped off to run plays when TEs just in there to block.Comment

Our TE’s can do seam routes and two are blockers.Comment

Not a bad looking group. I would expect 4 to 5 guys to make the final roster based on Hackett's offense and what GB did with their TEs the past few seasons.Comment

We don't need any TEs! Let Russ cook!Comment

I feel good about the TE depth with Albert O and Dulcich competing for the top job. A. Beck and Saubert can do a little bit of everything. I don't think that having Wilson at QB means the TEs will have a reduced role in the passing game.
Last season, Gerald Everett finished 3rd in targets for Seattle with 63 and had 478 yards. In 2019 Jacob Hollister also finished 3rd in targets with 59. Lockett and Metcalf dominated the targets probably because they were clearly the best options by a wide margin.
In Denver, the targets might be better distributed because of the depth at WR and TE and the more balanced quality among the group. I think that any of the top 4 WRs or Albert O can emerge as the top target in a game.
The Packers had 4 TEs last season. The Seahawks had 4 TEs + 1 FB. I don't know if Hackett will employ A. Beck as a FB, his body type and playing style might put him in the role that LaFleur/Hackett had for Josiah Deguara.Comment

Yup. I posted his heat map somewhere a few weeks ago. Very few completions across the middle of the field. Definitely a weak spot of his.Originally posted by The1percentKid View PostComment

He attacks deep middle which is why getting a seam stretcher at TE is big. But yeah in the short-intermediate game, he’s rarely passing between the numbers. Expect a lot of out-breaking routes and an extra half-second to hit the crossers.Comment

I'm glad they finally signed Saubert. He's good.Comment

I think Albert O is going to have a breakout year. Russell will adjust when he starts getting open.Originally posted by Tombstone RJ View PostComment

Jimmy Graham played three seasons with Russell. He had 170 receptions, over 2000 yards and 18 TDs. He was 4th, 2nd, and 2nd on the team in receptions and yards those seasons. I don't think they've had a good TE since.Comment

Goodbye Beyer and Tomlinson.Comment
-
hes fully capable of throwing to a tight end and over the middle. the issue has more to do with who is coach was. he now has an offensive minded coach whos playbook probably depends on tight ends and throwing over the middle.Comment

This is still vastly better than the various groups we had from 2015-2018. I think you guys are underrating this groupComment

I'm feeling:Originally posted by GoneFishin' View Post
TE: (1) AOK, (2) Saubert, (3) Dulcich
RB: (1) Williams, (2) Gordon, (3) Boone
FB: Beck
Tomlinson and Beyer as camp bodies and injury insurance.Comment

I disagree on this one, especially with the possible issues at RT. Tomlinson blocks like a Tackle, and I think there will be a place for that on this team.Originally posted by qbronco View Post
IMO - As long as he is helping Javonte and Melvin succeed in the run game, he should be on the roster.Comment

So you thinking they will keep 5 tight ends? I was thinking 4.Originally posted by cmhargrove View Post
Andrew Beck, Greg Dulcich, Albert Okwuegbunam, and Eric SaubertComment

Depends on Beck's blocking ability. If he can pass pro then Beck's the keeper and Tomlinson is an insurance policy.Originally posted by cmhargrove View PostComment

Personally - I think Beck and Saubert are duking it out for one available spot. I think that none of these guys is a real "in line" mauler except Tomlinson - that's why we brought him in. Beck and Saubert are basically the same "type" of Flex/Move/H Back player.Originally posted by qbronco View PostComment

The most boring TE group in the history of the Broncos.
good thing Wilson doesn’t use his TEs.Comment
