I'm just going to use Gates, because he's the consensus best receiving TE. Not a great blocker, so that hurts his value. But bear with me.

Gates, in 2010, was more valuable than every receiver in the NFL (according to DYAR) other than Brandon Lloyd and Mike Wallace. He did this in 12 games. Clearly if there was any skilled player worth two high picks (including a first rounder) based only on last year's production, it's Gates.
