It's still considered rare, as it happens less than OT, QB, WR, CB, and pass rusher.

EDIT - In the past 10 drafts, here is the count of each position taken in the Top 10 picks:
QB - 22
EDGE - 17
OT - 13
WR - 11
CB - 10
LB - 8
RB - 6
IDL - 6
IOL - 4
TE - 2
S - 1

So a TE is only taken more often than a safety in the past decade.
