With Dan Arnold getting healthy and signing Evan Engram I don't think TE is a pressing need early, but if there's good value in the mid to late rounds I can see taking a flier

We signed two big contract WRs in FA.

Why would you expect one to be drafted early?

Makes no sense.

We signed two, but in today's NFL, you mostly have three wide receivers on the field at the same time and it doesn't hurt to even have a fourth on the roster for depth, situational use, dime situations and to give the starters a breather.  Additionally, Marvin Jones Jr is an aging player and in the final year of his contract.  Many think it makes sense to bring in a young player and even if he doesn't take a starting role initially, at least we would be grooming him for the following year when MJJ likely departs.  Also, as previously stated, there is concern that we have a bunch of Y and Z receivers.  Diversifying our wide receiver core by getting a true X wide receiver would be seen by many as a big positive for our offense.
