I want a DE or DT. We have way too much TE's on our roster. The reason they aren't featured in the passing play is because they are called to block more than get open. We can get OL in the later rds. though. There's tons of them in this draft. Don't want to miss out on another Freeney if one is available.
I completely agree with the positions you targeted.
My TE call is based on their possibly being 2 freaks of nature at TE this year. Both Lewis and Davis are better prospects than Shockey and Winslow.
Heres some info on BOTH for ya ta chew on:

Vernon Davis was another player in the ACC that had a breakout year in 2004. Davis emerged onto the scene last season and became one of the Terrapins most dangerous offensive weapons. Davis played many positions last season often lining up at tight end and fullback while occasionally lining up at the wide receiver position. Davis is an athletic freak who holds many workout records at Maryland in both speed and strength tests. He is extremely strong but also very fast as evidenced by his unofficial 4.41 40 time during spring practices. Davis became a complete tight end last season having made a very visible effort to improve his blocking ability through improved technique and film study. Davis is still young and still learning the terrapin offense but the physical tools are there and all he has to do is continue to work on the other aspects of the game and he could be a force not only at the college ranks but also in the NFL.

If he continues to improve his blocking he may also grab the Mackey Trophy. He is a big target with good, not quite great, hands. Not as quick into and out of breaks as Shockey or Winslow [I or II] but still represents a major matchup problem. Will need to work on blocking and snatching the ball out of the air, but possesses great size and speed and could become a dominating player at his position. One of three finalists for the John Mackey Tight End Award in 2004 and the only finalist returning for 2005. An All-America candidate who is probably one of the best receiving tight ends in the nation, also has the ability to line up as a wide receiver to take advantage of his height. Lewis enters his senior season with 11 career touchdown receptions Lewis owns the UCLA record for career touchdown receptions by a tight end, breaking the mark of 10, set by All-American Tim Wrightman, made 68 receptions in his career and ranks No. 4 on UCLA's career tight end receiving list, all of the other five tight ends in the Top Six each went on to play in the NFL. Lewishttp://condraft.com/articles/images/1123296885_ucla_marcedes_lewis_sm.jpg ranks 23rd overall on UCLA's career receiving list. You can't teach the measurables he already possesses though, and his athleticism at the TE position for the 2006 NFL draft is unparalleled, so keep a close eye on this kid's development this Fall. If everything goes as expected he should sneak into the end of round one.</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
Now, BOTH have actually gotten even better this year. I have watched both and was blown away at how good they look. Davis is the Matt Jones type that has much more TE experience, but hes that type of physical freak. Lewis has the same type of ridiculous athletic ability though not to Davis's degree but is a better all around TE. I watched Lewis and he absolutley lays out DB's and LB's when they try to tackle him if he doesnt juke them and leave them in their shoes all together.
