Yep. That's the stance to take. I think Strange has shown some flashes here and there. It's probably really hard trying to find yourself on an offense as well that's honestly loaded across the skill position groups. Distribution struggle is real sometimes.

Agreed. I still really enjoyed the Penn St. highlights I found on him on the night they drafted him. I was excited then and I am still excited for his future. I wasn't expecting a Dallas Goedert or Zack Ertz type of talent out of him though. I immediately thought, "Oh, okay, this is a big guy that likes to bruise people that can occasionally catch you sleeping in the passing game".

I thought of him being Pederson's H-Back type of TE player that he had in Philadelphia. Behind Ertz and Goedert. He had Trey Burton. He wasn't the move type TE or field stretcher the way the other two guys were but he would work the underneath game really well, do a lot of motion stuff close to the line of scrimmage and block in the running game.

That's exactly who I saw when I looked at his highlights at Penn St. I was eyeing Oklahoma's Brayden Willis in this draft for this exact same role. San Francisco took him in RD7 though. He hasn't done anything out there that I am aware of. But, again, hard to find yourself on an offense, much like ours, that, it's clearly already stacked across the board skill position wise.

Boy is it nice to be able say that after the years we have had ! Strange will be ok. He is a blue collar work hard guy. They will develop him...

Agreed. I think because of so many years of watching this team have pick of the litter at the top of every round that we're just expecting every single player that they draft early to be immediate contributors or impact players.

That's not the case anymore. That doesn't mean we get lazy though as fans and just accept EVERYTHING that they do in the draft, we can still be nitpicky and look at the finer details. We're fans. We still need SOMETHING to talk about.

But, yeah. 100%. It's been years anybody could say that in Jacksonville really.
