Look, I'm not even saying I'm not worried about our Oline. I am worried. I'm not sure there was a better way to draft in Round 1 though.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a mistake, but I won't lie... I wanted Julio Jones.

AJ Green by far won the first three years of their careers, but Julio has beaten him over the last three. 1,870 yard Julio in 2015 would have been something crazy with Eifert and Marvin Jones.

Really couldn't lose in picking either of them... unless you're The Browns and you passed on Julio entirely to trade down, then trade up and get Phil Taylor. Lol, Cleveland.

So, you would replace a very capable, NFL-experienced TE with a draft pick?  You call that an area of need?  

1. Eifert is always hurt and is about as reliable as condoms made in a factory that also makes sewing needles. He's also not healthy right now (shocker) because he's dealing with tendinitis.

2. Uzomah is also hurt and missed the entire preseason. He also had a chance to step up with Eifert and AJ hurt last year and was thoroughly mediocre. 26 catches for 238 yards (9.2 AVG) and 1 TD in two years.

3. Hewitt is not a damn good TE, he has 20 catches for 198 yards (9.9 AVG) and 0 TD in THREE YEARS. He's never even had 100 yards receiving in a year before.

4. Kroft has 21 catches for 221 yards (10.5 AVG) and 1 TD in two years.

So that's two hurt TE, and two bad-to-meh TEs.

Hewitt and Kroft are good TEs like Dane Sanzenbacher, Ryan Whalen, and every other nobody backup was going to be a great breakout WR. Lol
