TE's...after the combine

[Ernie]

After watching these TE's at the combine...I'd be disappointed if we selected one in Rd 1. This is the deepest and most talented TE group I've seen...maybe ever. The 3rd round comp pick may be a good place to take one...but I wouldn't go any higher than that.

[Rara]

I'd want Engram now..hopefully in second or third.

[Iron City Inc.]

We never know for sure but got to believe we double up again on D first 2 rounds. After that anything goes imho Mixon or Butt could be in play come the 3rd round.

Late? We have James, Green and Grimble... we don't need a TE. We need defense and more defense.

[Real Deal Steel]

Late? We have James, Green and Grimble... we don't need a TE. We need defense and more defense.

Exactly. We are more then adequate st TE.

[feltdizz]

Exactly. We are more then adequate st TE.

Draft gurus are grocery shopping on an empty stomach.

QB in the first, RB in the first, TE in the first...

then a minute later

DEFENSE wins championships, how come we aren't investing in the defense?

[Shawn]

There will be no TE or RB in the first. QB? Possibly.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

Exactly. We are more then adequate st TE.

have to disagree with this. of the three guys listed, one is a good #2, another has a head like a cantaloupe, and the last is just a step above a PS player. in a league where TEs can cause such nightmare matchups for an opposing defense that's hardly adequate. the steelers are meeting with too many TEs to make me think its not a priority in their minds. my guess is they use one of their 3rds on one. in a deep class a decent prospect is gonna get pushed down

maybe the kid from Michigan fits the bill

Close enough to what I would say. But I think 1st and 2nd is possible depending on which TE is there.

[feltdizz]

There definitely won't be a QB in the first.

[RuthlessBurgher]

I included small school behemoth Adam Shaheen in my early mocks. Still interested, but we may now need to use an earlier pick than I originally thought.

I agree. Green makes TE very difficult to evaluate in terms of need. If he's going to be back and play the whole season, then yeah, I'd agree that we are adequate at TE. But who really knows what is happening with him. If he plays, it's a bonus, but it's tough to count on him.

James is a very good #2 but a borderline starter. He improved vastly last year, but I don't think he'll ever be somebody that really challenges a defense. If you can add another weapon at that position in such a deep class, I think you have to consider it.

I wouldn't take a TE above an edge rusher. This seems to be a year where need matches the depth in the draft. But after the first, I think you have to consider it.

I really liked how he looked.

Maybe our second 3rd round pick, but only if we knew Green still had medical issues

[SidSmythe]

The emergence of Jesse James pushes any TE need back.
Grimble is not the answer. I'd look in the 3rd for a TE (maybe 2nd if no DB is on the board assuming we go OLB in the 1st)

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

After watching him at the combine, and googling highlights, I would take a look at Njoku out of Miami. Although, if they think that Green is back next year then no TE period.
