Switch out LT with TE and I agree. The beginning of the decline of Heath Miller is very evident. He should be okay this year though. But a new #1 TE is needed next draft.

In terms of value, I don't think a TE even comes close to being as valuable as a good LT. Is there really any good TEs in the next class? Blocking being a requirement, not that I'd be too upset with a TE/WR hybrid but I doubt the Steelers feel the same way. Getting a LT for the future means Beachum can either be a back and help their depth tremendously or he gets bigger and stronger and replaces Foster in the future.

Funchess will be a solid TE. but I don't know about his blocking. Ask MarchingOn

Too bad Jesse James might be too light to be an in-line blocker :/

Think of a more polished Kelvin Benjamin. That's how Funchess is as a player. 2. Since he is better suited as a WR, as you can imagine, his blocking at the TE position wasn't very good. WR blocking isn't a problem though. The best TE in this draft class is Nick O'Leary from FSU.

Oh well, Alejandro Villanueva OT/TE hybrid ftw.

Well, of course O'Leary being the best TE is just opinionated. There might be someone who is better, idk. But I'm looking at this list and meh... The TE position just looks down this year to me. www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings/2015/TE

DT will be a bigger need this year for the Lions. Suh and Fairley are in contract years and the majority think only one or neither will be back next year . That leaves Mosley, Fluellen, and rookie Reid as our options. sent from my pigeon carrier

The Falcons don't need a Running back at all. They need a Free Safety much more. I would also say that Tight End is a bigger need than Inside Linebacker because Paul Warrilow is pretty good. I also think that Prince Shembo is a steal. I do agree that the Falcons number one need is an edge rusher as well. Falcons have the best tandem ever!!!!
