I'm not overly enamored with Gray. He's a functional 2nd TE but would you trust him to ever truly take over for Kelce? I don't. He's kind of a complimentary H-back type.
The same goes for Fortson. Fortson has a role, but he's not built to be an every-down TE. He's mostly a big WR that works in goal-line situations well and the occasional wheel.
If GOD FORBID, Kelce ever got knicked, we'd be gasping for air.
I'm not saying that you try to stack the position, but another modest investment on a true TE would probably be smart. There are a few nice options out there this year IMO.
As for Bushman, he was released with an injury designation so I'm thinking that's a moot point.

Really wouldn't hate it in the 4th if we've gone for DL and OT prior, especially if it was a guy who profiled as a receiver first. Or was the sort of raw athlete you sometimes can still pick up at TE later on. Someone like Luke Musgrave perhaps? Anything higher though and it seems rich to me.
I'm similarly indifferent on Gray. I thought even a 5th was generous and while he's probably justified that he's not been much more imo. He really hasn't got the juice or wiggle that I think they anticipated. Probably become a slightly better blocker though, but the idea our TE room is set seems a bit optimistic.
