2.03 Denver Devils - TE Hunter Henry

In the real world: Four years ago, the San Diego Chargers drafted LaDarius Green with the idea that he would be the long-term replacement for veteran Antonio Gates. Green did become a long-term replacement for a veteran tight end, but only after leaving for the Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent (to replace the retired Heath Miller). Enter Henry, this year's best TE prospect.  Without any obvious weaknesses, he should replace Gates in the long run.

In the TUFF world: Even after acquiring Jordan Reed in a trade with Minnesota earlier this offseason, the Devils still needed depth at tight end. In the short-term, Henry will be a far more solid backup than the other tight ends already on Denver's roster. Will Tye (Giants) is still a relative unknown, and Jeff Heuerman (who is recovering from a torn ACL) is stuck in a committee on the Denver Broncos.
