The problem with that is if the guy shows well in the preseason then he's likely to get picked up when he's released before you can sign him to the PS. Just seems like a waste of a draft pick taking someone who doesn't have much chance to make the 53 man roster.

That is also a testament to the depth we have. When you are drafting in the 7th round you gotta draft for something, Ballard likes athletic traits. Seems as good as anything

6th round, and we're not as deep at other positions as we now are at TE since we drafted 2 of them. There's a lot of other positions where we're not as deep and/or will likely keep more than 3 players on the active roster: OL, DL, WR, CB, RB, QB.

At any rate if the worst thing about this draft is that a 6th round TE doesn't make the roster and signs elsewhere then we had a really good draft.
