I thought Sample came on nicely after a rough, injury-riddled, rookie season.  He, Uzo, and Moss can be a solid TE room.  Best part of it is all are very capable blockers so we aren't tipping our hat so much with whatever TE is in the game because the opposing team won't immediately assume either are just blockers or just receivers.  All are pretty versatile.  

Sure, the 2nd round might have been a reach, but Sample will likely end up being a solid piece of the puzzle.
