I think that goes to the cruxes of my post. The game has/is changing. The old time TE is evolving into what amounts to a heavier WR and offenses are going to 4 & 5 receiver sets. While you bring in more DBs for the 4 & 5 receiver sets, you still keep a couple of LBs in to protect against the run. These guys need to be faster than LBs of say 10 years ago were.
