Not many TEs from that draft have stuck. There were only 13 total in the class. After Olsen and Miller were taken about 9 picks apart the other guys who've stuck around on their teams are Celek, Boss and Rosario all who're mid round picks.

that's more a quality over quantity type of draft. 4 good starters in Olsen, Miller, Celek and Boss.

It has it's bright spots. Most of those guys who came out were a little younger too, most them are still only 24 or so.
