I cant understand how anyone who has been watching the NFL for the past 7 yrs or so can disregard the importance/evolution of the TE position in the NFL.
The good ones are arguably the best athletes on the field. They can make an offense dynamic much the same way an elite WR can, except that a good TE wont cost you a top 5 pick ala calvin, green, johnson, etc.
A playmaking TE is the best bang for your buck in todays NFL (IMO). This offense needs one.
