I do have to say it makes me feel like when they picked Margus Hunt a while back(Margus was more of a project player so no I'm not comparing it in those terms).

He may have talent, he may contribute, but...  2nd round...  WTF?

I'm not gonna bash him or defend the pick now.

It's just a really left field pick.

To deny that would be kind of silly by anyone.

The funny thing is I would have been okay with Hockenson in the 1st(maybe not at high as he went or even at 11)and an O-Lineman, LB, or BPA in the 2nd.

There's no denying that our TE group might be sketchy with just Eifert and UZ.

I just would have preferred a more pass catching skilled TE.

I agree, at first I was like who is he. We never scout the blocking TE's, we want the flashy TE who is like a WR (Eifert). But we have 2 very good pass catching TE's, so why get a 3rd when we have no blocking TE. He is rated the best blocking TE, that changes our running game and max protection passing game.

After some review and listening to logic from Casey abd Callahan, I have no oriblem with the pick now.
