For TE, it's just Eifert, and he's injured more often than the top 3 WRs. I think LaFell was retained for 2 years to groom a mid-round WR for 2 years.

So it really comes down to drafting a replacement for LaFell vs a replacement for Eifert. Who will see the field quicker and more often such that they have a bigger impact? I think a TE would.

I think a rookie WR would start behind Lafell, or Boyd depending on who and could work their way up. I think a Corey Davis or Mike Williams woudl be behind Lafell with a Ross behind Boyd to start the year. I think the team plans to resign Eiffert honestly, they will leverage his injuries into a more "show me" deal I think, but I think they want him. If they draft Howard it could show they aren't sold he will stay healthy or be affordable.

I'd just like to once again reiterate.....I don't like WR or TE at 9 haha.
