I mean Kittle was the most athletic TE in the draft according to his numbers....TE is a hard position to transition from college to the NFL. Go look at a lot of the early TEs drafted the past couple yrs most didn't exploded out of the gate, and before you say anything about Engram he doesn't even play TE in NY dude is a WR for them (never blocking).
Kittle needs to stay healthy and work on the hands and he could very well be a solid TE for us.
The second at least, you had the one cat Cleveland drafted and he hasn't done anything well....because you know.. .....he's in Clev

This is a good question, but a simpler one is : can you name the roster right now? I sure as heck can't. Also can you name the IR right now? again, I can't...without looking that is.
To the question:
Offense:
LOCKS:
Garopp and CJ
Garcon
Au Jus
Staley
Trenton Brown
Goodwin
and that is just 6 positions.
Question marks incl:
Kittle...am still not sold on him. Both kilttle and taylor managed to drop passes thru game 10...and 11 if playing. For me, that is just too much. 6-8 games...maybe...not 10
T. Taylor....how long do you give a guy to quit dropping passes? Gone unless kept as PR.
Gone:
fusco
Laken Tomlinson
kilgore
Beadles
Fence sitters
Hyde
Breida
Garnett
Magnuson flamed out at T, inside OG/C only, and he didn't get much time there...probably for good reason. And put magnus at C and OG rest of way...let's see if he has it or not.
Darren Williams...got to see one play against SEA. needs to play in next 5 games...or not if doesn't cut it. Right now fence sitter, pending play.
Defense:
LOCKS:
Buckner
Solomon Thomas
Foster
Spoon
Colbert
Blair
DJ Jones
Mitchell...I yr more.
and that is only 5 DLs ..we need 3 more.
LBs..only 1, need 2 starters
DBs...only 2, Spoon and Colbert ...need two starters.
That is 4 DLs, 2 DBs, 1LB ...total 7 starter positions.
Question marks:
Dontae Johnson
Tartt
Dumervil...maybe one yr more
Coyle
GONE
Reid
& ward...and that is based on injury. if he is always injured, then he isn't playing...and we have seen enough. Let him go elsewhere. We need a 16 game DB.
Last but not least, Arik Armstead...I think he is a reclamation project and gets another yr, inside, not out. I think he is worth keeping one more yr. Also depends on who the DC is.
Summary:
6 starting positions on Offense and 7 starting postions on Defense...plus the bonus...one extra potential FrQB with CJ. That means we need 5 starters on O (only 4 if keep Hyde/Briedia) and need 4 starters on Defense....unless there is room made for AA, but that would be for the rotational DL.
When you consider we had 4 starters at beginning of yr, to now have 11 and possibly 12 with RB...that ain't all that bad. Not what I hoped but after seeing our miserableness, I am happy with between 11-12 starters. We gotta have more. Garcon as the only sure handed WR...was a surprise. Also we gotta get Au Jus into passing game. We will with JimmyG

Sparq scores for rookie TEs....someone said Kittle wasn't athletic which is pretty inaccurate
Originally posted by NeeJ49er:Agree with everything except bolded. I think Breida has been pretty solid this year. While not spectacular, he catches the ball well and has a nice burst. I'm not saying he could carry the load of being the feature back but looks like a nice compliment to Hyde. I'd kind of like to see him get more touches to see how productive he could be.
QB: Jimmy G
RB: Hyde
FB: Juice
WR: Garcon
LT: Joe
RT: Brown
Kittle ,Taylor and Goodwin could be nice complimentary weapons , but we need to acquire more play making weapons , Joe Williams could be a solid RB for us, Breida hasn't exactly earned a spot for next year , and as for the interior of our offensive line , that is where we need improvement , Tomlinson could fight for a roster spot, Garnett also needs to show he's worth keeping around , and we need a dominant center to anchor our attack , a clean passing pocket for Jimmy G will go a long way towards improving our offense
Defense
Buckner
Thomas
Mitchell
Foster
Tartt
Ward
Colbert ....these guys can stay, we need to add pieces around them to build a solid defense , I've given up on Armstead, Lynch, Carradine, DJ and Harold,

Don't care what that says, game film he looks slow.
