The Facts: Leonard Pope should emerge the Cardinals starting tight end this summer. But if Troy Bienemann can block -- and Pope can't show improvement in that area from his rookie year -- it should not surprise anyone if new HC Ken Whisenhunt picks Bienemann.

Diehards Line:Even if he doesn't start, the 6-8, 265--pound Pope has the physical attributes necessary to excel in third-down and red-zone situations. It's certainly safe to assume Whisenhunt, a former NFL tight end, is sharp enough to find ways to take full advantage of Pope's size and athleticism.
