Heath Miller is my pick as well. Complete TE.

Right now it's Miller, but soon it's going to be Gresham.

I went with Gresham without any hesitation. He is going to have an immediate impact and his production could be on the same level as the other guys despite him only being a rookie. He may not have the most yards this year but if I'm picking the best TE than I'm picking Gresham. He is going to be a really good player in the league.

Knowing all this...I go with Gresham :p
Can we run a 2 TE setup?

Because its run by Hines and he knew LeRon was a lock so he changed it to 3 WR's. It's a conspiracy. ;)

McClain is a lock? If I want a blocking fullback, I'm taking Lawrence Vickers and I'm not looking back. He's like having a 260lb guard in the backfield

I forgot all about Vickers. He too is a beast. I loved him at Colorado and he's turned out to be one of the better FB's in the league.

I did 3 WRs because it seems like more and more offenses are going towards that. Of course I love the lead FB, but it is what it is.
If it gets out of hand for TE, I'll have LT up by tonight.

I wouldn;t say it'd be a lock, but McClain brings more to the table. He's no slouch in the blocking department either, AND he's a pretty effective power-runner. For the record, I'd rather have a FB over a 3rd WR as well because that seems to be more AFC North-ish but it;s not my poll ;).

If you're building the team from the standpoint of what's best for building an AFC North Team, I'd definitely incorporate a fullback... the AFCN just doesn't boast the quality of quarterback or receiver that other divisions do... we run the football. Go with what you know.
LT - Joe Thomas, Cleveland Browns
LG - Ben Grubbs, Baltimore Ravens
C - Alex Mack, Cleveland Browns
RG - Andrew Whitworth, Cincinnati Bengals
RT - Michael Oher, Baltimore Ravens
TE - Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers
FB - Lawrence Vickers, Cleveland Browns
RB - Ray Rice, Baltimore Ravens/Cedric Benson, Cincinnati Bengals
And just walk down the field. Hell, we could put Josh Cribbs at quarterback, run the single wing, and still get a ton of yards on the ground.

I might put FB in at the end if everyone wants to. I have no problem with that. It can be a extra position.

I voted Heap, but thats the homer in me. It's clearly Heath Miller, he's a great all-around TE who is so underutilized by Pittsburgh.

Miller was actually targeted a lot last season. He should get a lot more looks in the first four games of the season as well.

yeah, I expect the Steelers to lean heavily on Rashard Mendenhall, and when they have to pass, I believe Miller and Ward will be there first 2 reads, and Wallace will be their "Action Jackson" type player either in the slot or the outside opposite of Ward.

I voted Miller but it could eventually be Gresham.

It is Miller right now with Gresham not having played a down. But probably before the seasons is over we will probably want to change our answer. Gresham can simply just do more things than Heath athletically.
