The NFL is notoriously bad at identifying TE prospects who will do well at the next level. Over the last 10-15 years, the first round TE list is incredibly disappointing and successful players are peppered around day 2 and 3. This doesn't mean that I think if they choose a guy later in the draft, they will have more success. I just think we still haven't quite figured out how to accurately assess TEs and would rather not risk the first round on one with them having such a high bust rate.
Outside of QB and WR we seem to have a lot of 1st round busts. Do you have faith in our history of CBs or OL? This late in the 1st round, there's not really any player you're going to feel amazing about unless someone falls for some reason.
I don't disagree though and am fine not taking TE early.
