I'm a member of the 'Draft Sean Taylor Club' -- unless there's an unbelievable trade offer. Sure, if we wind up with some sort of scenario with multiple picks in the first or second round, then there's Ben Troupe of Florida, Ben Watson of Georgia, Ben Utecht of Minnesota, (man, that's a lot of "Bens") and Bo Scaife of Texas who are all top prospects and could be available later on. I've never thought Kellen Winslow Jr. was that big of a need for us, especially now with a Gibbs offense.
Another part of me sees a huge question mark with Byron Chamberlain, injury issues with Robert Royal, and suitable depth behind Walter Rasby. We could use another TE somewhere in the mix, but there are other pressing needs well above tight end that need to be addressed in the draft. We also have Leonard Stephens on the roster -- I liked what I saw of him a couple of years ago in preseason. He'll most likely get a chance to make a decent contribution.
I just feel that Gibbs can bring out much more than many other coaches in a TE even if they're aquired through undrafted free agency.
