Maybe this system doesn't call for a pass catching threat at the TE position.

Then the system is broken and needs to be fixed. Not utilizing the TE position in the passing game would be a mistake.

I bet we see them draft a TE that skillset using one of their first four picks.

Maybe my definition of a pass catching threat varies. I see players like Gronkowski, Kelce, Olson and Reed (When healthy) as a prominent pass catching threat where they're consistently racking up wide receiver like numbers and stretching the field. I don't think you need a guy of that caliber in this offense if you maximize the running game and retain Robinson on the outside.

Between the coverage he should command and the respect Fournette will command you don't need a freak athlete at TE. Just a guy that can work the middle of a field and sell the blocking when needed. If they take one with their first four picks it wouldn't be a surprise (as long as it's not at 29). I just don't see them reaching on the position on day one and definitely not in round two.
