Past tight end players seemed to be well utilized and work terrific under McCarthy in GB, such as Jared Cook, Jimmy Graham. So that tells that the TE will indeed play a big significant in this offense.
And very strongly assuming this is the end of the road for the GOAT Jason Witten and we can finally get that speed and big play ability that affects the entire field, is there anyone that are sold on holdover TE Blake Jarwin as the starting featured TE here ?
Or should we strongly consider that new featured TE in this upcoming draft ?
Not sure if there's anyone that is worth investing in FA market at the TE position.
This has nothing to do with "FA" status for TEs, but everybodys looking for TEs that produce now...
The importance of quality pass catching TEs in this league is trending....
Kelce
Ertz
Kittle
Andrews
Waller
Hooper
Cook
Higbe
Henry
Goedert
Witten
So you can see the TE importance trending, just take a look at the two remaining.
So yes the need is there, but this team needs to discover what it has or doesn't have within its youngish TEs in Jarwin, Schultz, and who else... see that's all I mean.
I have the utmost respect and admiration for Witten, and always will,, true gladiator, but time is of the essence to find, discover, this teams future at TE, or how we even use the position.
Im not passing on a WR that I have rated higher, or favor just to chase a potential at TE in the draft though.. there are two ways to skin a cat,,, and don't get upset, don't call PETA
I love animals,, I will never forget Witten playing with a broken wired jaw, and running for some serious YAC with out a helmet.
But it is time to invest here, rather that be through the draft or FA,,
