Thread: Bears may be able to buck NFL’s TE trend

Agreed! Why all this talk about drafting a TE? Does anybody truly think any of these rookies will start or have more impact than a DE or even a WR if we go that route (much to my dismay). There are only three guys in this draft class that may rate a late first or mid to high second round pick and Charles who leads the pack is more like and over-sized WR than an inline TE. After that you have Fleener and Allen who rate no higher than WR's who would be drafted around the same spot. Everyone knows we need help at WR but as long as Kellen Davis is signed, and we'd be fools not to, we have a guy who fits this offense very well. If he flops we can talk about a TE next year but he deserves a chance to start in this offense to see what he's got.

If we can get Allen in the third, we should do it.
