You still try to resign Engram. Doug's offense is built for 2 really good TEs

Doug's offense is built for whichever roster he has available. 

There was only one season during his time in Philly that two TEs had over 500 yards each. And that was largely based on a drought at WR. 

Every team needs more than one viable TE, but this team doesn't need to sign Engram to a big deal AND draft one prior to the 4th. We'd be fine picking up a cheap free agent like Dan Arnold who already knows the system and drafting a blocking TE later. 

Then they can offer Engram a longer deal based on his 2023 performance if they choose.
