Unless you have a freak, like kelce (who was passed over by every team in the nfl draft twice) they really are all a dime a dozen.

All you have to do is look at the franchise tag values and realize RB, S and TE are the most undervalued positions in the NFL.

Tackles don't seem too high on franchise either, and guess we could say the same we passed on some great talent by picking oline a bit early too. Also part of reason less TEs go high is there are less of them since it is a singular position and as a whole u only need one top end TE. Right now we probably have one of the worst project starters and backups at TE, this is a major issue  for the team .
