I don't think we need a vet TE right now, we have enough beef on the OL and talent at WR that we can make due even if Eifert doesn't pan out to be amazing this season.
Buuuuut,
I do think the premise of "Andy replaced Palmer so why couldn't a rookie replace X?" is very flawed reasoning for not getting a vet TE. We can't just always assume our mid round picks are going to come in and tear it up right away. Like you said though, we have Eifert to essentially replace Gresh so it's not like we're asking a rookie to come in and start immediately.
