Disappointing young TEs

[Dynasty DeLorean]

Ian Thomas was always just a decent athlete

Hes "flashed" because he is a good athlete

Go get Irv Smith before they officially cut Kyle Rudolph.

Go get Irv Smith before they officially cut Kyle Rudolph.

Or you could get the guy who out-targeted him 21-20 the last 4 weeks of the season while Rudolph was out - Tyler Conklin. You could probably even pick him up off waivers.

Conklin is behind Irv Smith, but if you have the roster space, have at it.

It's official

My guess is it’ll make approximately zero difference lol

This is my stance. Opens a nice sell window if someone else believes otherwise.

You think it'll make no difference for Irv Smith? That's an interesting take. I think it'll mean more snaps for him. He was in on about 50% last year, with Rudolph in on 50%, and Conklin on 40%. I think the Vikings will continue with the TE heavy scheme, meaning more snaps for Smith & Conklin.

I guess the real winner would be then Cousins right?
AT WR1
JJ WR1
DC RB1
Now newly added ISJ TE1

No, I should have been more specific

I think it will make zero difference to the Irv Smith owner in terms of value

Had you approached him a week ago, it’s highly unlikely that the owner was willing to sell for any less than they would be today just because Kyle Rudolf was on the roster

Irv’s value might go up slightly. But I think most were expecting Rudolf to be gone anyway, and valued Irv accordingly

Oh right, I agree. We all knew that Rudolph was most likely gone. Anyone holding Irv Smith would have been waiting for this day.

[tresskid84]

Yeah, price was already baked in for me in my own rankings. Rudolph news didn't move irv at all for me.

Agreed, I've been fielding crap offers for him all offseason because I think most assumed Rudolph would go. Nothing to see here in terms of his value changing for me. I actually had a league mate text last night saying he assumed there was no way he could get Smith now. I told him that he had just as much chance as he did last week when he offered me a 2023 4th for him!

lololol

Right. The true window to buy him would've been last season
