I'm salivating over the idea of getting a TE who can both block and catch passes. That is a true TE, and that is the true match-up problem that the TE position is supposed to be. A defense has a problem with the true all-around TE, because if it's a running play, the all-around TE will pancake a safety. But if you match him up with a LB, it could be a pass play, and now you're covering him with a LB.

A "pass-catching TE" is just a big WR. Give me that combo guy who can block as well as catch passes. That's how you build a balanced offense where the defense is on their heels and you're not telegraphing the play calls.
