With the new kick off rules as well, they might consider keeping four TE's with one of them in a special teams role blocking and gunning wise.

Offensive line is interesting in general. A lot of things to look at storyline wise.

Robinson and Little entering their final year. This is maybe their last shot at stepping up and getting noticed for a big contract.

They drafted Javon Foster as well. Spelling their replacement.

Fortner losing his job in year three should motivate him to start attacking instead of reacting in a back up role.

Scherff with his age and injury history should have the guards in general looking to bump him off the roster soon down the stretch.

I think Little and Fortner should get work at RG this summer just to have the experience. Incase something happens.

Farrell is TE 2.  They would have to beat out TE 3 first.  So if that's the case they might push Farrell and Strange off the roster. We can only hope they improve

You think this staff isn't going to give a 2nd round pick 2 years to become TE2 over Luke Farrell? 

If Farrell ends up the #2 - they really screwed that pick.

Not that the depth chart really matters with these guys. 
Engram has a clear role as the F/Move guy who is basically another receiver on 70% of his snaps. 
Strange is meant to be an inline player who blocks as often as he leaks out on a route (or more)
 He just hasn't grown into the receiving role component yet. We'll see if he can. If he does, he's your de facto #2

Farrell is similar to Strange role-wise but entering his 4th year instead of his second so the staff knew his strengths and weaknesses better last year - resulting in slightly higher snap count. 

Strange had 297 offensive snaps last year as a rookie compared to Farrell's 351. 
I expect those numbers to rise for Strange and dip for Farrell if Strange is at all what they thought he was when they picked him.
