You've got J.O'Shag, who would be a decent #2 TE for a number of NFL teams, probably.
You've got Manhertz who is a crapshoot who has been a failed experiment at prior stops
You've got a rookie who is supposed to be a good blocker
A 7th rounder in year 2
An UDFA in year 2 
Tebow

"Fringe roster" guy in a room like that isn't saying much.  They'd ALL be fringe roster guys on almost every team in the league!

Indeed. So I'm not sure a younger guy with upside gets passed over unless Tebow shines in preseason. And IF he does make the roster I'm not sure it warrants any hand wringing from the fanbase considering our TE room is mostly crap.
I also think we may only roster 3 and go heavy at WR. A guy like Johnson offers a RZ threat with his size... Not sure we need to keep a bunch of TEs on roster when we'll be able to get guys off PS or the street of the same skill level if injuries occur.
