The problem with that is trying to figure out if the 3rd best tight end in the league is worth more than the 20th best CB? CB's are generally regarded as more valuable than TE's, but if I had to pick between the two I'm probably taking a pro-bowler over an average starter the majority of the time.

Fan popularity really shouldn't come into play in most cases even though I'm sure it plays a part occasionally. It's hard to compare apples to oranges, but you have to decide how valuable that PLAYER is to your franchise. In the case of Daniels, I think he plays a vital role in our offense.
