I think the whole NFL is fascinated with TEs. By my last count there were 20-something TEs drafted this year. We needed a TE. I don't see the big deal drafting a TE. Now Moaki needs to stay healthy but he could be a really good pick.

21 this year, 20 last year and 3 teams took 2. Including the Patriots.
I guess we are lucky to only take 1.
