His production shouldn't be hard to replace.
The tough thing about this is that they are lining themselves up to be obligated to draft (possibly multiple) TEs.
It's a great draft for that, but they are also very likely drafting a running back. Likely both positions on the first 2 days of the draft.
I dislike this scenario. Those are two fairly limited positions on this offense. They run sparingly, and the TE is the 4th receiving option. A single guy at either position will be splitting snaps.
Spending 2 high picks on these less-featured positions means missing out on guys at premium, ie more expensive positions in early rounds. Tight ends and running backs are relatively affordable. DL, OL, DB, WR are not. They will need all the young talent they can get at those spots when it's time to pay the superstars.
They could certainly make moves between now and the draft, but there's a lot of indication that's they'll invest significant draft capital in positions that the current scheme doesn't necessarily prioritize. Guess we'll see how it shakes out.
