Its just that everyone seems so caught up on size, and TEs are generally taller than WRs and bigger targets/better blockers to boot, and we run lots of two TE, so why not go that route and really solidify an extra red zone target instead of getting a big slow WR who doen't really stand out just because he's big.

yea, i tend to agree with you. what i was trying to get at when i asked about drafting a TE or using cooley as a full time TE was now that saunders has control of the offense do you think cooley could be used the way gonzalas was used in KC ? and if so , do you think the skins would be wise to draft a TE with their 2nd or 3rd round picks.my thinking is if they try to use cooley like gonzalas then the skins need to focus on a different position (like wr or de)
i've heard alot of people mention TE as a possible top prioity for the skins but the cooley factor makes me question that.
i hope i explained my questioning a little bit better.
