I totally agree with that. As a fan though, you're always yearning for that improbable "third way" with stuff like this. It's not unbelievable to think that one of the best young TEs of the future could be drafted in later rounds. In fact when we look at draft position of some of today's top TEs:


Kittle - 5th round pick 146
Gronkowski - 2nd round pick 42
Waller - 6th round pick 204
Kelce - 3rd round pick 63


It doesn't seem like scouting TE prospects is as cut and dry as some positions.
