    PA Guys - Who's the better TE prospect?

    The Steelers seem to be looking for a blocking TE & not being up there in PA to see these guys, who's a better prospect?....

    1. Nate Byham (Pitt) - A blocker, not much upside?
    2. Andrew Quarless (PSU) - Unrealized potential?
    3. Mickey Shuler (PSU) - Better athlete than player?
    4. Steve Maneri (Temple) - O-lineman conversion?

    You could at least throw Dorin Dickerson into the conversation since he'll probably be drafted higher then any of those other TE's you mentioned.

    Apples and Oranges.

    Quarless and Bynham are the best of that group. But, Quarless is a receiving TE with great athleticism and not much polish. Bynham is basically a third tackle. He excels at blocking and is an underneath target only. They should both go in the middle to late rounds.
    2013 Draft
    1 Ezekial Ansah OLB BYU 6’5 271 (sky high potential)
    2 Khaseem Greene ILB Rutgers 6’1 241 (cat quick, explosive hitter)
    3 Steadman Bailey WR WVU 5’10 193 (fantastic route runner)
    4 Le’Veon Bell RB Michigan St 6’1 230 (Good fit for zone scheme)
    5 J. J. Wilcox SS Ga Southern 6’ 213 (athletic, fluid in coverage)
    6 Omoregie Uzzi OG Georgia Tech 6’3 302 (quick, zone gem)
    7 Micah Hyde CB Iowa 6’ 197 (rangy corner with speed)
    7 Vinston Painter OT Virginia Tech 6’4 305 (athletic OL project)

    I know he will, but he really isn't a viable TE is he? He's more of H-Back with great speed. It would seem that the team may be looking to upgrade the blocking from their 2nd TE.
