Of course, this can be done in the middle rounds. I think Marshall or one of the other unsung LB's will be able to step up for the MLB spot, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a late round LB pick, not to mention undrafted FA's...these are your special teams guys.

I KNOW! But the H- back can and is used at times as a TE, being Cooley has established himself as a threat in the passing game, he has made the need for a pass catching TE a lesser priority, it's irrelevant where either a TE or H-back lines up in Gibb's system with all the line shift's and motion it's very simple to put either an H-back or TE in the right position to block, TE's usually don't catch the ball in Gibb's system just ask Donny Warren, as far as drafting a big bodied TE, or a lineman with some athletic ability to just block from the TE position, that's not a high priority, Reason? College's are loaded with undersized linemen who could assume blocking from the TE position but can't catch, it shouldn't be a problem to find one late in the draft which mean's it's not one of our top priorities.
