No, Quarless and Starks were both drafted in 2010, while Shields went undrafted.

Oops. I meant to add starter to that somehow, so I guess Starks was in play. I am not sure who our starting TE is.

According to NFL.com, Quarless is highest on the depth chart, followed by Crabtree and Lee.

It's hard to imagine what a patchwork TE corps the Packers brought to the Super Bowl. I mean, Andrew Quarless and Tom Crabtree . . . seriously? And yet they both contributed to the game, though Quarless had his share of mistakes too.

I think most kids that are drafted care more about the surroundings than the quality of the team.

Not saying that it is not important, but lifestyle off the field might win out.

Putting myself in their shoes.. my first concern would be to avoid a large city such as NY, Chicago, LA, etc. As I am not comfortable in large cities... all the concrete and building wear on me quickly. I would have no problem commuting in.. however I would be most comfortable in a less congested setting.

Truly.. location is everything.

I would be much more interested in going to a team that has a chance of winning. With the amount of money most of players make, they can get out of their teams city any chance they get. During the season most players are so focused on their jobs (hopefully anyway) location becomes less important. Most players go back to their preferred city anyway during the off season.

As they say, it's all about winning. As it should be.

Did I not have a real favorite team, the choice would be clear.

Miami.

I mean, at that age, with that kind of money, that much free time, how could that not be the place you'd want to go?

As to the official topic.

I think it's a big plus that you get into a winning organization. Especially since Ted now has shown that he's rewarding his own players and stays loyal to his picks.
