Draft Bowers

[Whatever]

They weren't used in any way similar to one another.  Hurst ran more out routes.  Uzomah was typically used on seam routes(which are downfield throws) and TE screens.  Uzomah averaged 10 yards a catch, for Pete's sake.

TE is by far our weakest position group.  We have no quality starter and no quality depth.  At DT, we have one good starter and one decent starter.  Hell, RB is weaker than DT.  G is weaker than DT, too.  

I don't know how you can argue TE isn't important, either.  Our offense has underperformed this year and lack of production from that group is one of the issues.  

Beyond that, Bowers is a Top 5 prospect in this draft, and you would hypothetically pass on him for the #15 prospect?  That's insane.
