I bet I can find 100x more "valuable blocking TEs" that were picked up on the scrap heap than the 5 examples you showed that were picked within the first 7 rounds of the draft.
You can find guys like Sample on the scrap heap. Your point is much like the OP's user name...toast.
You are completely missing the point.
If you don't like the fact that Sample was drafted in the second round then trash the Bengal. It is ridiculous to call Sample "trash" because you don't like where he was drafted.
Sample plays an important role in our offense. If you actually look around the league you will see that many other teams have the same type of "mobile blocker" TE/ FB/ H-back that plays 30%-50% of the offensive snaps and does nothing but block. It is a role we need and Sample does it well. So you can't call him "trash".
Hate the picker not the pick.
