This team doesn't need burners. 

Boldin brings in a sure set of hands with good route running. We don't have a pass catching TE and Boldin is not that far off from being that. He's very good in the blocking game too.

I don't necessarily  want to bring in Boldin but I don't hate the idea either.

I didn't necessarily mean we needed a burner, I simply meant Anquan Boldin was always considered a slow WR, even when he was young. He made a living utilizing his route running and solid hands. He was a possession receiver. We have those types of receivers. Given his age, I don't think he even has the minimum speed needed right now to be a consistent contributor, so I wouldn't waste a draft pick to trade for him. If we were gonna trade (which I wouldn't trade for anyone at this point unless it was a player for player deal,) I would trade for an actual TE, not someone who could try and mask the fact that we lack consistency at TE.
