With Celek and Matt Schobel the only tight ends on the Eagles' roster, Reid has said the team needs to add a third player at that position. Oklahoma State's Brandon Pettigrew is the only tight end projected to be selected in the first round. Second-round possibilities include South Carolina's Jared Cook, Rice's James Casey, and Missouri's Chase Coffman.

"I think they're going to draft one," Celek said. "When and where is up to them. I'm confident enough in my ability that I can earn the job even if they do draft one. In fact, I hope they do get a good tight end because that will help make the team better."
