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.

TE Krull will surprise, IMHO.

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.

Know lots of folks are frustrated with Trautman, considering four picks (R4, R5, R6, R7) were used to move up in the draft to Round 3 to select the Dayton Flyer...

Like the reach for Marcus Davenport, that's not on Trautman, but on those who didn't factor in their calculus he's coming from Dayton, an FCS school without FBS school resources...

No doubt the low Rec are a legit concern, but the guy has been a tremendous get as a blocker, and despite injury, he's putting forward tremendous effort, so that's a plus...

I'm very optimistic about a third season breakout happening for the former Dayton Flyer, if he can just get enough reliable targets to build confidence, get rolling along...

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

So he’s Jimmy Graham 2.0…
