giraldi02 470 Posted July 18, 2016 I'm going to bump this thread and again urge folks to draft Clive Walford as your TE2. This kid is going to be a legit weapon for Derek Carr, in an offense which should be on the field a lot more in 2016. Walford goes 6-4 250 with 4.79 wheels and a 35 inch vertical leap. Handpicked by Reggie McKenzie this kid was the alltime leader at The U in tight end production, a school which gave us Jeremy Shockey, Greg Olsen, Kellen Winslow II, and Bubba Franks. Walford started slow his rookie year, as most tight ends are want to do. But from Week 9 on he drew 39 targets (26 in his last 5 games), finishing the year with 329 yards for three TDs. He dropped only one of his 50 targets, and in fact didn't drop a pass his entire time at the U. He'll be a viable field stretcher and red zone threat, with a shot to match the 60/800/5 line that Travis Kelce put up his second year. Grab him late as your TE2, you heard it here first. I've paired him and Gronk in a lot of MFL10s. I'm doing a satellite (also best ball) in the Scott Fish Bowl and I took that pairing there as well since it's TE premium. Walford outsnapped Rivera last season (41.4% to 37.9%) and as you mentioned, I would expect that number to significantly increase this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giraldi02 470 Posted July 18, 2016 Trust me it will, Rivera already on the block. Slightly disappointing. I always enjoyed the camera panning to his sister when he'd do something worthwhile... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crystal Meth Tweekers 26 Posted July 22, 2016 Julius Thomas Agreed he was solid late last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted July 22, 2016 I'm not high on any TE's this year. I expect Bennett to get some targets that would have gone to Gronk, and this is about the time I would expect Gronk to suffer an injury. Olsen should have fewer targets with Benjamin back. I just don't expect Reed to duplicate those numbers. Eifert isn't healthy. Barnidge season last year was a fluke. Gates is a dinosaur. I'd maybe target Kelce if I had to.

Mike Nice 40 Posted July 23, 2016 Consistency amount tight ends year after year is very hard to find. You just have to hope you find "the" guy, which is not easy. If I can't get Gronk: Olsen kelce If neither of those I will wait and grab a couple flyers Fleener ertz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted July 28, 2016 I'm starting to warm on Reed. Same coach, same system, same QB. He was very productive in 14 games last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrG 94 Posted July 29, 2016 I like Wahlfords upside also And as a 49ers fan watching wistfully, impressed w Raiders' last several drafts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Neil 63 Posted July 29, 2016 Give me Delanie Walker as the no 2 TE if I can get him around the 7/8 rounds. If not I'll take Ben Watson with a side of Walford in the teen rounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redsrback 30 Posted July 29, 2016 Lets shake the tree 2 WRS and 1 RB first 3 picks Palmer and Big Ben round 4 and 5 Jordan Reed and Eifert rounds 6 and 7 Stash RBs rest of the way with 1 receiver and kicker and defense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted July 29, 2016 Lets shake the tree 2 WRS and 1 RB first 3 picks Palmer and Big Ben round 4 and 5 Jordan Reed and Eifert rounds 6 and 7 Stash RBs rest of the way with 1 receiver and kicker and defense So Reed is falling to the 6th? This strategy is pretty stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redsrback 30 Posted July 29, 2016 So Reed is falling to the 6th? This strategy is pretty stupid. Make you feel better if I said Fleener instead of Reed ? I fell into Reed last year at the end of 1 draft, now you argue for 6th round lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted July 29, 2016 Make you feel better if I said Fleener instead of Reed ? I fell into Reed last year at the end of 1 draft, now you argue for 6th round lol I drafted David Johnson in the last rounds of my draft. Now he is a first rounder. Value can change dramatically from year to year... it's not a rare occurence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Were discussing an injury prone player in the 6th over a name player like Olsen and Kelce for a TE, but your right I should of checked fantasy football todays projections so I knew what u thought. Either way I can have you seeing red on draft day because I know players after the third round aren't studs and ill have plenty left to pick from in the 8th round while you are fumbling catching up with me.
