You can't have enough young tight ends, apparently...

So I was thinking this morning that the Patriots spend a high pick on a tight end seemingly every single year in an endless search to replace Ben Coates. I thought, "Hey, if they're going to throw all these picks away, why don't they just go to the Chargers and say 'We'll give you our second round picks for the next 10 years for Antonio Gates.' They have to say 'Yes,' right?"

Then I thought "RB... WR... TE... Wait, our offense isn't the pressing problem, it's the aging and depleted D. Our LB corp is starting to look a little gray. We have zero DB depth. We have to address one with our higher 4th round pick, hopefully LB."

"With the 106th selection in the 2006 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots select Some Dude, TE, Some School."

A second freaking tight end? Did we need one tight end?!?!?

I'm not one to doubt Lord Bill... but seriously, I'm dying here...
