Who would have thought that with nine draft choices and losing Jesse James to free agency this off-season, the Steelers would have waited until the 5th round of the NFL draft to select a tight end?
To go even further, who would have thought that the tight end they chose would have been Zach Gentry – a former quarterback recruit from Michigan who played only two years at the tight end position.
Selecting a tight end in the draft was necessary for pretty obvious reasons. Jesse James played 50.4 percent of the Steelers total offensive snaps, according to overthecap.
