Regardless of who our QB is they still want to run to run a run heavy offense and blocking is more important than receiving for our TE.

In my opinion, blocking is what the O-Line is for. I realize we wanna run the ball a lot, but you still have to be able to get the ball down the field through the air or else you run the risk of becoming a one-dimensional offense. If teams are expecting us to just run the ball, they will stack the box and challenge us to beat them with the pass, which is currently our weakness. I just want a balanced offense where we have the threat of beating them downfield with long passes. It doesn't mean we have to back off from running the ball, it just means we have to get some big play receivers and a QB who can get the ball to them, so other teams know we are capable of winning on the ground or through the air. Selecting one of the top passers in this draft and adding a TE who can get deep and run precise routes like Andrews, Gesicki or Goedert would go a long way toward reaching these offensive goals.
