Not sure I'd agree with this. A true complete TE can have a large effect on the pass game being both a target and blocker and in the run game as a blocker at the line. Can really make a difference. This is supposedly one of the better years for TE in the draft and I was honestly hoping we'd be able to spend our 2nd round pick on one and hopefully have that 8+ year player there we haven't had in a long time.
While they are all NEEDS, I think I'd rank QB, S, TE, WR, CB, DE. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think the versatility of a true stating TE can be pretty valuable.
