A little - the fish was drafted specifically for his blocking with hopes of gradually improving as a pass catcher. TE's take time however I don't see Trautman in black and gold after this season.

I'd definitely look at drafting another TE but hey, that's just me.

I don't see him coming back either. We need better receiving TE depth and Trautman never became the TE we envisioned. Taysom is a TE in name only and defies a traditional role at any position. Find one in the draft.

This year's draft is presumably rich with TEs. Let's get one! We'll keep Trautmann around. He's coming around.
