I know we haven't brought these guys in but if we're really starting to look at TEs that may be more receiver than blocker we should. Warring or Oliver whichever one is there on day 3. On NFL.com they're both rated higher than Sternberger and Warring is rated above Knox.

Josh Oliver
Overview
Above-average, mid-air athlete with plus ball skills who was forced to deal with coverages that were consistently shaded in his direction thanks to an excessive target count. Oliver's route-running and ball-tracking talent allow him to work beyond the first level and can help NFL team's looking to push the ball downfield. Oliver will flash as an in-line blocker at times but might need to enter the league as a TE2/3 who works from the slot until he becomes more skilled and consistent at the point of attack.
Strengths
- Highly regarded by teammates
- Has put in necessary time and work to improve his body and skill set
- Heavily-targeted primary receiver asked to work all three levels
- Good hip flip for easy work-around against jamming linebackers
- Uses fully formed route tree with all the branches
- Good balance and attention to detail in his routes
- Accelerates to separate out of turn and stems
- Good speed alterations to adjust to throws behind him
- Able to maintain top speed throughout ball-tracking if needed
- Majestic, bounding strides to rise and capture high throws in deep middle
- Superb body control and catch radius to turn incompletions into catches
- Developed quick hands thanks to throws that were put on top of him prematurely
- Catches through crunching blows from safeties sniping at him
- Shows capacity to improve and help in pass protection
