Teams in the top ten can't really regret not picking most of those guys because none were considered (by anyone) to be elite can't miss prospects.  Look at where those elite TEs were selected - it's just more proof that you can wait to get a good one after the 1st round:

Gates - undrafted
Gonzalez - 1st round
Kelce - 3rd round
Kittle - 5th round
Ertz - 2nd round
Gronk - 2nd round
Graham - 3rd round
Witten - 3rd round

The only top ten TEs really were Vernon Davis and Kellen Winslow, both of whom had some good years but never became that elite TE.  I'd rather go OLine or DLine in the 1st and TE in the 2nd or 3rd.

You trying to tell me every team in the league don't regret passing on Ray Lewis, Tom Brady, Ed Redd etc. just because teams didn't have them as elite cant miss prospects?  You have a redraft and they will all go early.  If Hockenson turns out to be elite like most think, it's a good pick.  You don't take Hockenson unless you think he will be elite.
