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.

If a TE is at the top of our board in the 1st or 2nd you take him.  2 elite TEs in Dougs offense could cause nightmares for defenses.

Nope

That's not how this team is gonna draft TE this year. Too many positions of greater value with more urgent need - and too many easy ways to skin a cat on keeping the TE position behind Engram viable. 

They aren't taking a TE in the first round unless they know damn well they don't plan on working a deal with Engram. 

Top of the board and best player available tropes and clichés can be damned. That would be a seriously unwise usage of draft capital.

What we have in hand can cause plenty of nightmares for defenses. Fix the damn lines.
