Lol you say a lot of silly stuff and this is near the top. The franchise tag (aka a top 5 TE) for TE was 11 million. We just paid a good WR3 type to an 18M+ contract, and two teams gave 1st  and 2nds + 30M contracts to trade for WRs.

The second silly part is that WR can jump in and have solid seasons right away. It usually takes at least 2 full seasons and often more for TE to become impact players.

We over paid for Kirk and those 2 WRs are arguably the best in the league.  If Kittle and Kelce got traded they would get the same or more in return.  If it takes year 2 to make a big difference who cares?  We aren't drafting a guy for one season, if he's a good hopefully It's for the majority of his career.  You said the same thing about Freiermuth, you didn't want him because it might take till year 2 to make an impact.  He had 500 yards and 7 TDs and was a decent blocker as well.  Not sure what it takes for you to consider and impact at the TE position.  Pitts had 1000 yards but yes the good TEs usually breaks out in year 2, that's not a big deal to me, if it takes till year 2 to break out then I'm good with that.  There are a lot more good WRs than TEs.  It's not like we are SB contenders nor were we last year so I don't care if it takes 2 years to make an impact.  If we can draft a difference maker at TE then it's worth it
