Dallas Clark and LJ Smith would both make great passing targets for Drew. But I think we've got much more pressing needs to spend cap space on (and god knows Loomis will leave at least 10 million unspent).
 
I say we keep Billy Miller and add either Utecht or L.J.Smith. Then we select either Jacob Tamme(Kentucky) or Darrell Strong (Pittsburgh).
 
I don't think the Colts will let Clark get away. Therefor, that probably leaves Ben Utecht available. He's been behind a great player in Clark. I'm not sure what exactly he brings to the table. I think we could add a solid player w/o breaking the bank.

no way we need jacob hester as our TE/FB combo. he will become the new tweener in the NFL. Teams who want the FB/TE combo. You heard it here first. with pierre thomas and hester blocking skills brees will have massive amount of time to throw. the think i liked about thomas was he could block standing up not diving at the knees. Hester will be like cooley (redskins) or clark(colts). He will cause a massive upgrade for protection and fits for teams. Imagine reggie running around with colston and meachem with hester and thomas blocking.

FYI hester and thomas can catch out the backfield.

I assume you mean Jacob Hester?
 
IMO if we draft a TE I like Rucker. Watched him a lot the last 2 yrs. Big guy, fast, and smooth thru coverage. Great hands.
 
Troupe or Hopkins-Toledo. Neither should cost an arm or a leg
