It doesn't look like we will be using the tight ends much. That's probably a good thing considering our in-house options don't have much to offer. We need to draft a tight end next year. Trautman can't separate himself from defenders and that is a serious limitation that I'm a little worried about.

Don't forget that we have a new TE named Taysom Hill this season.

I'm not ruling him out just yet. He's got good speed, doesn't shy away from contact, willing blocker, if he can catch, with some designed plays, he might be a TE afterall.

Taysom had a very delicate surgery earlier this year and the rehab will be slow.

Do you have info on his return status that many of us aren't aware of?

Just what Jeff Duncan reported back in January via CBS Sports.

"Hill is expected to need six -to-nine months of recovery following surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury in his left foot, Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com reports."

That could put his return anywhere from sometime next month to near the beginning of the regular season.

TE Krull will surprise, IMHO.

His blocking is atrocious. Seems to have the build and passion but IMO, he's a few years away from being impactful.
