We just don’t get to have TE as an overwhelming strength right now, but that’s not the worst thing in the world. I’d rather get great value at another position than reach for a TE.
We actually have a couple of pretty decent pass catching TEs. Plus we brought in the other Watt brother as a FB who might also be able to play the position.
Now we can draft BPA with an eye towards O line, D Tackle, and really look for NFL ready players over projects this year. Because our priority is winning now, and as you say, we can’t count on the usual preseason to prepare guys.
This year a team that retains its good players has an advantage over teams that are trying to assemble new talent. My fear is the Ben rust factor but we just have to hope he gains chemistry with these guys quickly.
