Well, if we had a TE like Winslow then I think he'd get the ball, he's not a bad blocker either. I think he'd be a good fit. That said, I'd only take him if Taylor is gone. Taylor is my guy right now. I dont think the pick is worth Harris or Wilfork.

I agree talent-wise he'd be a good match... But personality-wise i think he'd be a problem. He wouldn't be happy being used primarily as a blocker and he's not the type to keep his mouth shut.

I just don't think the TE position in the gibbs system is that important. We need more of a blocker than a pass catcher. Really what we have is sufficient, and I think the roster bonus of Chamberlain shows that.

In order to get Winslow, we'd have to pick him over Sean Taylor, and I'm not ready to do that. I think having a safety like Taylor will go a long way to shoring up our pass and run defense.

I wanted Taylor too until the combine, but now I'm not so sure. Word is that he came to Indianapolis fat and out of shape and that he faked a hamstring injury to excuse his lousy performance. I'm sure he'll still be a stud, but now his motivation and attitude comes into question.

I think Rasby and Dilger would be great fits here as the blocking TE's.

If motivated Chamberlain could be a darkhorse as the pass catching TE. But I'm not counting on Chamberlain at all. I could easily see him being a camp cut. But with a bonus of $500k to keep him around, he's worth a look I guess.

I'd pass on Alexander, he's constantly banged up and even when healthy he has underacheived.

Rasby, Chambelain and Royal will battle it out. I see Rasby starting uless Chamberlain can get his act together
