RB has an argument for being our biggest team need

Which gets back to my previous point in a couple of these other threads - I'm beyond caring at this point.

Because as an athlete and receiver, he's still not going to be better than one of the fairly ordinary WRs out of this class. If we don't have a HoF caliber, All Pro move TE, I don't want to be TE-centric anymore.

And I don't think Arroyo is better as a receiver than Warren or Loveland. So I'm hard pressed to conclude that there are THREE stud receiving TEs coming out of this class.

Which tells me that with Arroyo we're looking at another good pass catching TE not terribly unlike someone like Trey McBride as his upside.

Eh.

Gimme the more rounded TE and a better WR3 to form up an 11 personnel group and then an explosive RB to finish off the mix.

I just don't find myself all that stoked about a 'Kelce Replacement' these days. They don't exist.

Just pivot.

Exactly.....why get hooked into trying to repeat a formula. Pivot and/or evolve.
I think Grey is fine as a Kelce replacement and we don't know what we have in Wiley. I would get a blocking TE in the later rounds or FA and maybe visit TE early next year

Gray's a little undersized as an every down TE. He's a game, but not good, blocker. He's...adequate.

And athletically he's fine but not a standout.

I don't think his particular tool set would be difficult to find in a package that's 2-3 inches taller with 20-30 lbs more weight. Hell, we probably have that in Wiley, to be honest.

I don't have a problem upgrading on Gray if Kecle retires. I'm just not terribly enthusiastic about using a 1st round pick on it. Probably wouldn't even use a 2nd rounder. I just think I'm going to like some of the DL options available in/around those picks.
