No - to me the real point is that Ben Watson is probably a better all-around player than Tony at this point. He can block a rush end (Tony can't), help seal the end of line on outside runs (Tony is below average at this), and still has much better speed than Tony to get down the middle of the field. He's a very unsung hero of that team.
Belichick, Ozzie Newsome, Parcells - all these smart evaluators have taken tight ends in Round 1.
