Schonert - Can he be THE DIFFERENCE?

Great read from Michael Lombardi over at the National Football Post about what Turk Schonert is facing in 2009

Interesting assessment of who the Bills should go after

If I worked for the Bills (or if I were Schonert), I would attempt to pry tight end Daniel Graham away from the Broncos (Side note here: The Broncos drafted a young blocking tight end, Richard Quinn, in the second round, possibly making Graham expendable). Graham’s skills as a blocker would make this offense a significant factor in 2009. He would enhance the running game

Fine is well documented as a great blocker….but can Schouman fulfill that role as well? Nelson clearly won’t be much help as a blocker in 2009….so adding depth at TE in the run blocking game IMO is critical, and what Lombardi here tries to address

I’ve been calling for a blocking TE for some time now. I don’t think Schouman is that great of a blocker and would be much more comfortable with a bigger, better blocking TE.

I’m not sure I’d try to get Graham though, but if it were for a 6th or 7th rounder, the addition might be very worth it.
