I also believe that Uzi, Hewitt, and Kroft are capable. Ts, I will feel better about it when I see some consistency from any TE on the roster not named Eiffert.

Then that said, I will be even more happy when I see some out of him. Do you get where I'm going now? I don't mean any disrespect whatsoever with any of the concerns that I have. They are real & valid concerns. Now TE may be a major weakness after this season. Hell, it very well could be this season.

Kroft,Uzi, & Hewitt aren't near the talent that Howard is. Still, I'm ok with the Ross pick. It just means we will probably be in need of one in next year's draft. Unless, of course, Mr.Glass can stay healthy for awhile, and we can resign him?

Eifert has had a run of bad luck, no doubt.  I wouldn't go so far to say that Uzomah isn't nearly the talent of Howard.  OJ had a defense that got his offense the ball a lot, yet he still only had modest production.  Uzomah came from the wacky Gus Manzel offense, but the Bengals saw his athleticism and thought he could develop in to a premier TE.  I have attached an article about his pro day from over a year ago.  It shows his 40 time would have been the 2nd fastest of all the TEs and he was also the 3rd heaviest, at 263 lbs.  

Kroft hasn't shown much yet, but this year he will get a chance to prove himself when 100% healthy.  

With Ross and AJ on the outside, this should be a TEs dream.
