    A fifth seems pretty steep. Time will tell. I quickly checked a Pats forum and they seemed to like him. This guy wasn't going to play much behind Gronk and Bennett, so I guess we'll have to hope he's a diamond in the rough.

    Gronk missed time this year.

    They cNt dump Heuerman, he's one of two TE's that has potential to be more than just a typical Kubiak scrub.

    Sooner or later you'd hope they come to the realization that it's not who they bring in that's the problem, it's what they're looking for that's the problem.

    If you keep bringing in Dreessen, Daniels and Graham you're going to keep getting Dreessen, Daniels and Graham.

    This Derby fits Kubiak's TE mold to a "T", 6-3/250 with average speed, ability and marginal blocking. And white, seemingly has to be white.

    Well since we have a flaming dumpster fire at TE, I'll take it.

    At the beginning of the season, yeah.

    My point is, if those two are healthy, he's not getting on the field.

    Everything I'm reading about the guy seems to be good. Considering the Broncos TEs are cheeks as far as production, why not take the risk he turns into something? A 5th round pick in a year where the Broncos have alot of picks and comp picks can be traded... I'm not seeing too much of a risk.

    Interesting that the article I quoted used to say fifth round pick and now just says a draft pick. Wonder if that was wrong

    yeah. . . they'll have to wait a year or two, THEN dump him. . .

    TE has to be the single worst position on the roster, so it makes sense to make a move. . . you have to at least try, right? we're certainly not getting anything at all from the guys we have there now-- virgil green is far and away the best of the group, and he's not better than a warm body. . . i'm betting they address it for real this off season (in fairness, spending a second on heurmann at least represents a legit effort). . .

    I bet Heuerman has until end of TC 2017, I think that's reasonable. The FO and coaching staff have seemingly dropped the ball on this OL/TE's. Pariani is a good position coach though. I don't personally care if they find a JT receiving threat either, a Heath Miller suits me just fine.

    FWIW, WTE says that many GMs were inquiring about Darby at the end of pre-season.

    Damn, poor guy, cut twice in just a few weeks.

    Who was that TE years ago that Shanahan cut and re-signed like four times.
