Agree.   Also, you don't pick a TE in the 2nd round to sit behind an unproductive 3rd year player that was previously selected in the 5th round by a prior failed regime.

He's more like a Toyota Camry (an average car, typically found in many NFL garages as a backup) than a Ford Pinto (piece of garbage), in my opinion, was my point.

 Agree but I kind of like using a little shock factor for effect.
