AFC West Tight Ends from an Oakland Raiders' Eye View

Found May 30, 2008 on MVN:
PLAYERS: Daniel Graham,  Tony Gonzalez,  Antonio Gates,  Zach Miller,  Tony Gonzalez,  Zach Miller
TEAMS: San Diego Chargers,  Kansas City Chiefs,  Denver Broncos,  Oakland Raiders

Tonight's edition of "From an Oakland Raiders' Eye View" focuses on the most underrated position in modern football, the tight end. As was true with the other positions outlined so far, the teams are similar in that they all have high quality tight ends. Lets see, all the teams have young quarterbacks, top flight running games, and average receiving squads, and now top tight ends. A dependable tight end can be a quarterback's best friend in the passing game. Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez are both the best friend their QBs could ask for. Zach Miller has already developed a chemistry with his young signal caller, and Daniel Graham brings Super Bowl experience to the table. How do these guys stack up?

I know it's wrong to think or start a rumor that every player cut in the NFL needs to play for the Eagles.
