Engram wasn't extended when they drafted Strange, he was still on the tag.

The Bigsby pick was and likely always will be a stupid pick. So was the Ventrell Miller pick in the 4th round. Another dumb pick.

LaPorta is an outlier and not the norm as far as rookie TE production goes.

Yes he was on the tag and they knew a deal would get done.  Bigsby was a stupid pick because he sucks.  If he was Kamara or another really good back and the best player available it would of been a good pick but he sucks.  Ok, replace LaPorta with Gronk, Kelce, Kittle, Ertz etc.  If he was a stud TE and the best player on the board it would of been a good pick but he sucks.  The positions picked isn't the problem it's the players.

If we went and drafted oline yet they picked bums, it would of been bad picks too.
