Perhaps he is the typical draft for the future kind of a guy. Just amazes me that they selected a TE.

I know what you mean, I had to do a double take when I saw TE next to the dudes name.
But Finley does have a mini-history of being injured, and seeing that they are likely to keep 4 TEs again minus Donald Lee, I can see a place for this guy.
I honestly wonder whether this pick was the product of DJ Williams being the BPA by far, or whether its a product of Thompson thinking ahead and covering his behind in case of a worst-case scenario should Finley depart through FA.
Either way, it's funny that the most pressing position I thought we'd need help at (DE) has not had a single player drafted yet. Positions where I thought we were quite stable (WR, RB) have rather been target. I'm not sure if that is coincidence, or rather Thompson being smart and thinking ahead to possible scenarios and making sure he has the worst-case ones covered.
Either way, it's kinds scary thinking about the competition we'll have at some positions.
