    Great pick.

    Yeah maybe a bit undersized as a traditional TE, but I'm sure a quality NFL caliber strength program will help that, also it's incumbent on Roman to now create matchup problems for the other team.

    Get creative! Put this guy in a position to succeed. Seriously, this guy is a matchup nightmare if used correctly.

      I like him but lack of blocking didn't think he was the our type of player either.

        He was a late riser up many TE boards. I had him as #10 on my top ten TE list. I only rank ten TEs.
        At least one Superbowl in my lifetime

          I really don’t care about blocking. All needs to do is chip the ED before running his route. Let the tackles the blocking.

          Great pick.
          Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
          Let’s win one for Mack.

            Awesome pick.
            As a charger fan and Syracuse fan, I couldn't be happier. That's why my user name is sufan144 which means syracuse university fan number 1 44 which is former syracuse greats jim brown ernie davis floyd little and derrick colemans # go chargers, great pic, darren waller 2.0 there is actually a syracuse football helmet next to the two charger helmets in my profile pic. However, in my profile pic it's kinda cut out lol.

                Exactly. We need a reliable, elite pass catching TE and apparently that’s what we got. Great value this late in the draft for a PON.

                  Nice. Drafted him a few times in mocks. Needed that.

                    From Bob McGinn's article before the draft:

                    Oronde Gadsden, Syracuse (6-4 ½, 241, 4.67)

                    Said one scout: “If someone has a vision of how to use him he could be a real weapon. Like an oversized wideout or an undersized tight end. Very talented, very athletic. I’d rather have him than Fannin.”

                      Gadsen lays down the chip, and Hampton takes care of the rest...

                          LOL...classic! The original Gadsden Purchase was made to allow the U.S. to have a railroad route to the West coast. The modern-day Bolt Gadsden Purchase is to help create a route to the Super Bowl!
