I thought RB at 4 was a [BLEEP] idea in 2017 and still believe that now. 

I thought TE at 4 was a [BLEEP] idea in 2017 and still believe that now. 

So - one of us has different opinions on positional value than we did 5 years ago.

It's less of a positional value argument and more of a hit/miss rate and developemental timeline reason for not taking TE early. If teams find a way to predict TE better and develop them faster then I see no reason why taking a top TE prospect top 10 would be a bad idea.

RB, OG, NT, and off ball LB are the only positions I wouldn't take top 10 purely because of position value reasons (and even then there are extreme outliers like Nelson).
