Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

[csx]

I dont feel its much of a need at all. We've drafted in consecutive years. TE are known to take 3-4 years to develop.

Our red zone offense was excruciatingly painful to watch last season. A half decent TE would do a lot to change that.

We were dead center, 16th, in Red Zone TD percentage. Not terrible

Our TEs were ranked 47th, 52nd, and 57th in the league in receiving yards for TEs last season.

Cool. We can draft another TE to be primarily used for blocking. Not all offenses use TE significantly as receivers.

Sanders and Evans both had better catch percentages than the leading TEs in receiving yards. We dont target tght ends.

By design of the offense or because our TEs suck? That's the question. Targeting our current TEs at a high rate would just be dumb.
