Didn't love the Knight pick, but I do like this pick a lot.

 

[Scout]

Nice addition to the TE room. May see playing time in 12 personnel formations.

Ehhh

One of the players I have repeatedly mocked to Seattle, I love it! Might be the best blocking TE in this draft, the Seahawks are getting more physical.

 

[Grahamhawker]

Didn't he make some key plays against the Dawgs in the NCG?

 

[Shane Falco]

Nice addition to the TE room. May see playing time in 12 personnel formations.

Also, we only have P. Brown on a one year deal.

Great pick

Looks like we got our Michigan man in this draft!

It had to happen at some point!

 

[Maelstrom787]

Bahhhhh. I don't like it for 2024, but he'll be our TE2 in the future. Dissly-ish. Tough blocker. Limited upside in the passing game, but he can bowl guys after the catch from time to time.

I'm a bit disappointed we punted on obtaining Mustapha. I friggin' love that guy.

They're definitely not drafting with a short-sighted frame of mind. I like that.

I would have preferred Cade Stover or have kept our original pick earlier and taken Theo Johnson, but I'm happy we're at least addressing the position.

Shocking that a tOSU fan wanted Stover. He isn't a run blocker. I prefer Barner for the Seahawks.

 

[hieroglyphics]

He is JJ McCarthy’s choice for the Michigan player who will make a bigger impact in the NFL

 

[Zybot]

I like him. Not a lot of opportunities in the offense but always makes himself a good target with good release. Looks like good hands. I see him as a depth piece

I'd advocated for many Michigan players in the past, including driving the Amara Darboh bandwagon. I don't care where Barner went to school, I just think with the makeup of our current TEs, we should have been targeting a player who was more of a receiving threat, and/or an athletic freak like Theo. Barner will probably be a solid backup though; I certainly don't think he's bad.

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

I like this pick, actually.

I think Barner will eventually be our starter!

Go Hawks!!!!!!!

We have Noah Fant and you can bet on Grubb properly utilizing him. I see this as a replacement for Dissly and a good one at that.

 

[OLYhawks]

I just want him to stay healthy and I'll be happy. It was my big knock on Dissly.

Same here.
