Seriously...what are we doing about TE?!

Side by side pics he looks almost identical to DK Metcalf and looks like he's single digit body fat. Someone broke down his RAS table and he's similar to Evan Engram. Realistically, he could add another 10-15 lbs and keep his speed.

What if the team picked up a pass catching TE this weekend....and we just don't know it yet?

Regardless of whether that particular player is on the 53 come September or not, the team doesn't have to convert bigger receivers to TE in order to insert them into the "F routes" at times during games. 

Our last regime did it when we we lost Oliver in his rookie year to injury and they actually got MOF production out of Dede Westbrook that way. 

The F tight end is the receiving or "move" guy and though he'll need to block or chip at times, when you just need the route available, he can be substituted with a receiver. 

Here's hoping we get a trade done for a move TE that makes it a moot point, but inserting a receiver occasionally in place of a receiving TE is not that big of a deal. We have guys that can fill the role here and there.

I honestly think if O'Shaughnessey stays healthy, he's a very serviceable receiving TE. He's certainly not Travis Kelce, but he should do fine filling the role that the TE has in this offense.
