I read an article a few days ago where the author was suggesting moving Lazard to TE. So maybe thats where that comes from.
But I don’t see Lazard as a TE, ever.
He’ll never be a good in-line blocker, but instead his value for run blocking comes from sealing off LB’s and bullying DB’s in space in the run game.
He’s carved out a niche role in this offense, and that’s all it will ever be. A niche role.
He’s not a #2 WR. At best, he’s a #3 or #4. But what he does has value to ML’s offense and they should tender him this year as a RFA.
Tonyan is a huge question mark right now.
I’d rather see them draft a decent combo TE in the draft and roll with that and Deguara, Dafney, and Davis at TE this year.
For the record, I like Trey McBride.
