After Gronk's success with the Pats, I suspect agents will push hard to get better contracts for TEs, esp if they're drafted with the intent to use them as receivers.  Last big draft board I saw had Ertz ranked 29th.

Can somebody explain why TEs are on the lower end of the payscale?  They've emerged as such important weapons in today's offenses, and it would seem to me that the supply of players that can block, run a route, and catch a ball is smaller.
