Anyone else feel this way?

QBS steered clear because we had crap TEs , crap QBs and crap coordinators. 

O’ Shaughnessy is a halfway decent number 2 TE by NFL standards.
Having him # 1 on your depth chart is far from ideal, but he’ll produce with TL distributing the ball.
If he’s healthy 500 yds and 4 YDs is achievable this year.  

At this point I’m more concerned about the line protecting consistently than what we’ll get out of TE in the passing game.

Like, maybe, a …. Giraffe?
