why do we need a TE??

I would not like to see us go out and spend money on an overpaid TE. I just don't think that is what we need. If we do get one, I wouldn't mind spending a 4th round draft pick on one. The reason that we keep hearing about the TE's on this board is b ecause of what Brees did with Gates. Gates is a freak of nature, there are not too many of him around. I would like to have more of a defensive mind in the next offseason if you know what I mean.
