I also think we may only roster 3 and go heavy at WR. A guy like Johnson offers a RZ threat with his size... Not sure we need to keep a bunch of TEs on roster when we'll be able to get guys off PS or the street of the same skill level if injuries occur.

If I'm wringing my hands at all, it's because this F.O. saw this TE room so devoid of talent (as we've agreed) and their response was to add a 34 y.o. project instead of something more viable.

I didn't mean to infer you specifically were the hand wringer. 
But I agree, they didn't do enough at the position in the draft or free agency, perhaps they tried but didn't land Smith or Henry.
I mean they moved on from Oliver, seemingly don't want to trade for Ertz or any other TE. And are banking on James O, Manhertz and someone to surprise out of Tebow or young unknowns.

Here's hoping the offense isn't meant to run through the tight end much. But at this point... Tebow, no Tebow...that 3rd or 4th TE and bottom roster position probably is getting way too much ire and discussion.
