Is there really a problem, though? The team went to the Super Bowl and came within a hair of doing it again. The offense is elite when the quarterback has reasonable protection.
There are only so many balls to go around, and Ja'marr/Tee/Tyler will account for the majority. Would it be nice to have an elite TE? Yes. Is it a pressing need? Not this year. They'll never ask much of a tight end so long as they have 3 star receivers taking up the majority of the passing offense. Taylor's other SB team, the Rams didn't have a star TE, either. They don't now just as they didn't when they won the SB.
I just don't see a need to invest a ton of capital in the position. Get a guy that can block and maybe go for 400 yards and a few tds. It's a formula that isn't broken, so no need to fix.
