I would be okay with any of the following TE's in rd.2, especially if we get an extra 2nd from a trade down. Mayer(doubt he falls to 2nd rd.), Washington, Kincaid, Musgrave, LaPorta.
Not all weapons in the passing game have to be wr's. When you consider that the organizations poles and Williams came from have had strong TE receiving threats in recent years, adding a potent running mate to pair with Kmet at TE makes sense.

If you have a strong all-around team, you can get to and possibly win a Super Bowl with 'meh' wr's. See 2017/18 Eagles, Cam Newton's Panthers team that lost to Denver, most of the NY Giants SB teams.

I don't understand why, between Monty, Herbert, Ebner and Blasingame, they can't combine for anywhere from 8-12 receptions a game- at the minimum. Is that too much to ask for?
I wish the NFL was more like the NBA and we could get more player for player deals other than qb. I'd want back a young starting caliber LB/DE/WE or TE. Eff the draft pick.
He also can return punts. While we have guys that can do that in VJ and Pettis, it can give them a break. We haven't had db's that were good kick returners since when, the Lovie era?
