The counter argument is a simple one.

The lack of production from our tight ends has held the offense back (although obviously there are other factors).

It needs to improve, because we are too predictable if we try to run the ball all the time.

And crucially, while none of them are likely to be elite, the better TEs in this draft will probably be gone by the end of round two when we pick.

That trumps the arguments in the BCC article.

(And on the point about them not being world beaters, I still think Goedert/Hurst/Gesicki have a shot to be a useful contributor like a Zach Errz. Plus, aren’t all players at the end of the first round likely to be “good” rather than “amazing”?)

Honestly, I’d prefer Hernandez, Wynn or McGlinchey, but if all three are gone, I can completely see the argument for picking a TE.
