I have a feeling they will take a QB early.  At 11 or second round.  Just a feeling.  The reason I think Hockenson is in play is because he is a safe pick.  Eifert's health issue is a known quantity.  I think judging by the LAR, they will keep the offense in a power mode.  The signing of Miller at RG means they plan on pounding the rock and giving Dalton (with one of the quickest releases in the NFL) short to intermediate routes and hot reads.  

I can see them using 3 TE sets to help the line and crossing patterns.  Then on occasion taking a shot down the field.  Just my gut.
