MagnusXXIII Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Schottey Sleeper: Colin Peek (Alabama)6'5", 255 pounds is about as prototypical as a tight end can be without being named Jeremy or Tony. Peek also has solid hands, decent speed, and great blocking.He is perfectly average.In today's NFL, most franchises want a duo of Tight Ends who each excel at either blocking or receiving. The days of Jeff King and Kyle Brady are no more. But, if one guy can bring that era back—bet on Peek.He'll be drafted in the middle rounds and make a team as a third TE. Once he gets snaps, it is only a matter of time before he earns more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymadd Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I like the UDFA TE that we got in Peek and Palmer, IMO they are pretty similar, but I do think that Palmer has more speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return-of-the-Falcon Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 we are still going to have to draft a TE early next year, probably by the 3rd rnd to replace Tony...it's gonna be tough when he is gone, he is the leader of our offense alongside Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been here one year. Don't get me wrong, he provides great veteran leadership, but he is not the "leader of the offense." With the possibility of a strike next year this very well could be Tony's last year in the league, so let's go win a Super Bowl before all that garbage happens.

2ColdRyan Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 i think if he puts his best into it ,he should make the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADBABY Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Peek is a very good pick-up for us. I havea hard time believing he wasn't drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hoopah! Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Where's a picture of this dude?As most of my friends in law school are unfortunately Bama fans, I've watched more Bama football the past two seasons that I'll care to watch. Peek impressed the heck out of me. He wasn't just McElroy's safety valve, he was the number 1 or two option on alot of passing plays. Solid blocker to boot.

rugger8 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I guess he could have been considered a dark horse in the draft, but I wouldn't call him a darkhorse to make the team. I'd consider him pretty much a lock to make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
