Zach catches all of his opportunities and in the Playoffs he showed he is capable of having big games. McCoy is talented yet inconsistent. How do you feel about our current situation at TE ? Priority, luxury, satisfactory, ex cellent etc.?
Personally if we went into the season as is I would feel good about it. Not great, but the current state doesn't strike me as an urgent need. Zach Miller graded out (profootballfocus) as the best all-around tight end in the NFC West, however that was primarily for his blocking. To add a pass receiving TE would be awesome and add another dimension to a rapidly & exponentially improving offense.
Jared Cook would have been a perfict addition, but obviously that price was to much. Dustin Keller would have been great as well but not at what the Fins paid. I'm thinking Fred Davis as a potential sleeper FA addition. He will be cheap coming off his achilles tear, Pete coached him at USC, and a one year "prove it"deal is likely all it would take. Outside of that I don't think there are many viable options in FA left
Outside of Eifert and Ertz I don't know much about the rookie TE's, except for the freakishly athletic Chris Gragg. I think he could be had in the 4th thru 6th round range. Some of the more educated Draft Guru's here (Kearly, English , etc), are there any recommended primarily pass catching, athletic, H-back type prospects that would be a good fit?
Or do we not even need help at TE?
