I'm slowly walking back from the ledge...

Chris Manhertz was the teams primary blocking TE, he's on another team. Next guy up would be luke Farrel and he's hasn't shown real threat in thr pass game. I think Strange comes in as the opposite TE in 12 personell and will offer more of a pass catching threat as a more classical TE. The knock on him is going to be his average athleticism 4.7 speed and so on. The question long term is, can he run routes, gain leverage and use his size and strength to box out defenders and make contested catches consistently. Time will tell.

I think Tank Bigsby is insert prototypical nfl starting caliber tailback. I see no real risk with the pick and looks like a poor man's ETN with similar running style. He also does things in the pass game that can translate to 3rd downs and ETN not having to take 400 touches on his frame. The only real objection could be philosophical, why not take a defender, why not trade up, do we need a running back etc.

On its face, I would have preffered some pass defenders (rush or cover) but I actually think there's little risk in the picks we made today.
