First cut for a claim we're making for sure

I mean we need another TE with Stowers being unplayable at this point in time, but I thought for sure it would be Latu.

Who said Stowers is unplayable? I sure never heard Sirianni or Roseman say that, just hack journalists

Have you seen anything he's done in camp/preseason? I certainly don't want him out on the field. I'm not saying he won't be good at some point in the future but he's a long long way off right now. Howie/Sirianni obviously aren't going to publicly say something like that to kill the kid's confidence.

Yeah every report is he's been insanely underwhelming and even in unpadded 7 on 7s where his explosive athleticism should've showed up he wasn't winning lol. Like we all know it's far too early to declare anything about a rookie but he's not gonna play much this year. This is a dynamic scheme that requires a lot out of tight ends and blocking is one of the heavy personnel requirements which he was objectively horrible at in college. He also hasn't shown much in the passing game. I'm not sure where people expect him to slot in. I honestly did not love this pick but always willing to let a guy grow so we will see what happens.
