He reminds me a lot of Aaron Hernandez (the player, not the criminal).
We'd presumably be running almost exclusively 2 TE sets at that point. So the problem with Engram becomes one of wasted personnel. You can't run a 3-wide with 2 TEs on the field unless you're using an empty backfield (which defeats the purpose of the 2 TE set as there's no reason to respect a run).
Presuming that Tyreek becomes the primary X this year with Maclin at the Z, you've effectively eliminated Conley as part of the offense. And frankly, physically Engram and Conley are very similar guys. Engram is a little bit thicker but not a ton.
I mean ultimately I kinda wonder what the point would be. Is Engram going to be so much better in a seam kind of role than Conley would be from the slot that he justifies taking Conley off the field? And at the cost of a 1st rounder in an incredibly deep draft?
I dunno....at first blush I kinda like the idea but when combined with the roster we have, it feels a little early be grabbing a pure pass-catching TE.
