I'd be surprised if there are any 4.7 wideouts in the NFL.

4.7 is pretty good speed.  Its tough to find TEs with Kittle's 4.52 speed and his overall ability.

I know we have a lot of cap invested in TEs, but next year Burton, Graham and Shaheen could all be off the books, so a TE early this year or next year is a good possibility.

Yeah, I know everyone is down on Burton and Shaheen.

Burton was fine until injured.  He's still relatively young  and IF healthy could be a valuable part of the offense.  If he's still beat up, then Bears could get some cap relief after June 1.

This is Shaheen's last chance.  Right now he's maybe 3rd or 4th on the depth chart.  You'd like to see what he could do when healthy - he's shown flashes but consistency and health are critical .   Could be another kevin white unforuntately.

There are a handful of WR's in this draft that I would consider a better value pick than taking a RG or a CB or a SS in this year's draft.

None of them will be available when the Bears pick at 43.

Shenault and Pittman are not a better use of that pick than a stud OG or TE or SS or CB.

Shaheen was just a Pace special, accept it & move on.

Burton was always a smaller no block receiving TE, he was pretty good in 2018 but this is football & injuries end careers quickly & easily. Pace signing an old washed up TE is no solution.

OL & TE biggest draft needs.

Nagy's system is one of the worst in NFL history.  Until it - and he - is gone, nothing else matters.

Burton has mental problems in addition to any ailments.  His refusal to play against his old team, example number 1.  And his production the second half of 2018 was markedly reduced.

I'd be comfortable if the bears didn't draft a TE with one of the 2nds.  The combo of Burton and Graham at the U spot is decent, just way overpaid and with health concerns.  We need a Y tight end, Shaheen is really the only one on the roster and he is awful.  The only Y you'd want to take early is Kmet.  I think he will be a good Y in a few years, but the bears don't have time for his blocking to develop.

I go back and forth and back on TE in round 2.  Maybe with Graham, Burton, Shaheen and Demetrius Harris plus the 5 fold TE practice squad they can get some production out of the position.

I think with 4 or 5 needs that Pace can go BPA.  I think one of those 2s will be traded for a later 2 and a 3, but who knows?

Pace might trade up.

They need two TE's that can go. Burton has shown he isn't dependable, but maybe he is still a viable TE. But they do need another TE that can spell him when he goes down, has a 'episode' whatever is going on in that head of his. Shaheen?? Totally wasted pick and adios, muchacho!

I think that TE is one of the most important and certainly underrated positions on the entire offensive.  That said, their first priority MUST be the offensive line.  Without that, the quarterback will stink, the running game will stink, and the passing game will stink.

If you can solve ALL of the problems this year, that would be wonderful.  But we shouldn't try to solve lesser problems at the expense of the major problem.
