Thread: Noah Fant

Figured that draft day thread is going to burgered soon as the draft progresses, so I though I'd give this guy his own thread to discuss.

I'll be honest, I didn't even know who he was...mostly because I wasn't looking much outside of the top 10. That said, I'm pretty excited about him and what he brings to the table. With an extra 2nd round pick, and a 3rd next year, I'd say this was a successful day for us. Here is a vid on him that I found helpful:

Fangio's thoughts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-sqpIEkym0

14 seconds in, something wonderful happens

Like the pick a lot. He’s a receiving weapon, which is much needed on this team. He’ll play a lot in the slot, or should.

Where's Tubby when you need him?

Nice highlights and insight by Kittle.

Looks like Fant could really help the offense.

Godspeed Mr. Fant. Hopefully youre foaming at the mouth to be the #1 TE and show what you can do.

I'm excited, I'm looking forward to seeing this kid play.

Hope this kid will be as good as he could be, I'd love to see this kid break all of Sharpes records one day.

Hell be the next Jeb Putzier

It's not like he has his work cut out for him to climb to the top. To get there all he has to do is not get injured.

Lol, i hope he will be better than that considering where we took him.

There's nothing wrong with Fant. Those arguing that he "wasn't even the best TE on his college team" are wrong. The pick wasn't great though because they desperately need ILBs who can cover TEs over the middle and there were only 2 elite ones in the draft.

They were looking at Devin Bush at #10 and blinked. And that is gonna cost them. TEs you can find in later rounds. Travis Kelce was taken in they third round as were most of the best TEs in the league. Gronk himself was taken in the second round at #42.

Might need to find ourselves an Elway to go along with it.

As much as i wanted Bush or White i can live with Fant. TE was a need i just didnt feel it was a bigger need than LB. But considering what is happening with Harris i have a feeling its going to be up to the offense to carry the load this year as the defense seems to be getting weaker by the minute. Nothing has really given me an indicator that the defense is going to be the backbone anymore at this point so i guess Denver better load up on Olineman, backs, and receivers.

Perhaps Fangio feels he can make Jewell a Pro Bowler.
