Oh I agree 100%. At this point I'm more concerned about Reeds health than RG3's as you can see from the chart provided below. (

However unless Ebron by some miracle falls to us at 34 I don't think I can get on board with drafting a TE that high. In fact it would take a guy who would eventually become a hall of famer before I could make my peace with a Tight End with our first pick and a multi-pro bowl offensive lineman that starts his rookie year in subsequent picks.
And as I stated before Tight End is possibly my favorite position in all of football. In fact Tight Ends: Dirtbag59 is the same as Brett Favre: John Madden.
However if they drafted guys like Niklas {TE Notre Dame} or Fiedorowicz {TE Iowa} as early as the 3rd round or even guys like Lyerla {TE Oregon} or Pedersen {TE Wisc} I could get on board with that.
I still maintain though that Moses {OT UVA} and Yankey {OG Stan} would be my ideal 1-2 punch as unlikely as it would be.
