Is the TE you were referring to Granson? Because a 4th round TE, especially in this class, doesn't exactly move the needle for me, at least not until he goes out on the field and proves it. Of the people who weren't hanging on Ballard's ballsack throughout the draft, I think pretty much all of us said that the draft would look a lot better with a FA signing at LT, and clearly Ballard was waiting for the comp pick portion of FA to expire to go shopping for his LT, and had that luxury because there were 3 options sitting there on Day 1 of the draft, and 4 the day after the draft (Fisher, Villanueva, Leno, Okung). That said, I'll continue to say Jenkins would've been the better pick at 21 until Paye proves me wrong with production. I hope he does, but I have my doubts.

Thanks for reminding us that Ballard did indeed have a plan and he executed it. It didn't waste a pick on a RT hoping to move him to LT. He got a legitimate pro bowl LT AND 2 of the best DE's in the draft. And yes. The TE is someone I'm excited because he brings a different wrinkle to the offense. He can also play slot receiver. He's a little small for a TE but has multi position playmaking ability.
