Why in the world have we not drafted a TE we need an impact TE and now there is very little if anyone left that can fill that role in the draft and we surely dont have one on the roster

Were there any impact TE's in this draft?

You want an impact TE? Throw one from the roof of RWS.

Royal is a fresh of breath air, isn't that enough of an impact for Dick?

By the time we got to the 4th, how many impact TE's were left?

We may still get Kellen Davis. The coaches must think highly of Teyo Johnson, and Schouman

If Kevin Boss can get the job done for the Superbowl Champs, I'm sure we can find someone. I'm not worried.

For the Bills there we a couple. The Bills have about 10% talent at the TE posiyion, if you can get a guy with 15% talent its an upgrade.

I agree maybe the coaches think highly of Schouman as a pass catching option or the Bills like somebody in a lower round.

Between Courtney Anderson, and Teyo Johnson, that's 13 feet of TE.

Because OBD wants Trent Edwards like JP Losman to fail. What a bunch of idiots.

Yeah, we did sign a couple of large pass catchers in the off season. I still think we need a FB and another WR. We have six more picks.

Most highly rated TE's take some time to develop.

lol, your screaming for an impact TE in the 4th round?

Not saying you cant get one, but any player drafted from now in wont have an impact player type grade.

We better be taking a TE or a C here with our next pick...Justice is still on the board as well as Davis...it pisses me off that we could've had BOTH of these guys if we didn't pick Corner with our 1st 4th.

I think we are destined to never have a good TE ever again.

When you have the TEs the Bills have...unless you're depending on Teyo Johnson and/or Anderson...you need MORE competition. We need to find a "diamond in the rough" since we have mostly crap.

All this TE talk is driving me nuts. Did the Giants win the Super Bowl with an impact TE. Hell no, JS was hurt and they have been shopping their stud TE. Tell me how many super bowls guys like Gates, Gonzales, Whitten, Winslow, and Vernon Davis (the guy who was going to be even better than Gates with his speed and size)? Better yet tell me how many playoff wins those guys have?
Off the top ten recieving yard leaders for TE last year only the Chargers and Giants won playoff games, and neiher Gates or Shockey had anyting to do with those wins. (Gates was injured and had really zero impact on that win, but if you count that it's one win).
Don't get me wrong TE are nice to have but they are nowhere near as important to winning football games as many belive.
If I'm wrong someone please give me an example of a TE who but a team over the top.

We are waiting until the 2009 NFL Draft to take a "impact" TE by the name of Travis Beckum from the University of Wisconsin. In my opinion there are no TE's this year that even come close te Beckum.

Height: 6-4
Weight: 236
Letters: 3
Led nation’s tight ends in receiving yards (982) and ranked No. 2 in receptions (75) as well as scoring 6 TD's in a run first offense.
