One thing that both teams playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday have in common is a superstar at tight end. While there are other more important positions for winning in the modern NFL, it certainly doesn’t hurt to have one who’s a badass blocker that can also tack on a ton of YAC. The Seahawks have never really had one of those. It’s arguable that the greatest tight end in franchise history is Jimmy Graham, who had about one strong season. Aside from that one atrocious trade the position never really seemed to interest Pete Carroll as he built his teams. That may be one of many things that are about to change now that John Schneider is calling the shots and Mike Macdonald is the new head coach. In our latest seven-round mock draft we decided to forget needs and take the best player on the board at No. 16 overall. Here’s how it went down.
