If Viska can fetch a 2nd or a 3rd and a starting guard/linebacker, pull the trigger. He'll probably explode somewhere else.

I know Pederson's system is very much dependent on the TE position, but I don't think we currently have the TE's to pull off that system without some kind of help from the WR's. Like I said, I love the addition of Engram, but he has had a lot of injury issues over the course of his career. He's only played a full season once, since coming into the league. Can we count on him to stay healthy? Imo, Arnold is a very average TE who had some key drops and fumbles last season. He doesn't inspire much confidence in his ability to be a big factor in the passing game either. I personally believe drafting a good franchise TE is almost as important as getting a #1 WR or a starting edge rusher. Luckily for us, this is an extremely deep TE class. I would definitely use one of those 3rd round picks to take one of the top guys, so we are in agreement on that one. I just think in our current state, our aerial attack is very weak.

Relax. I foresee drafting a beast TE who'll step in when Arnold or Engram gets hurt.
