Which player/position would be most satisfied with at 11 aside from LB/OL?

But I did forget about McVay's OC days in DC. You don't find it odd that he had so much success with a TE in DC but didn't make the TE a focal point in his offense with the Rams, especially considering they've been so strong in the run game? Maybe the TE focal point in DC was more because of Gruden rather than McVay.

I guess my thought is that we'll see how Taylor plans to use a TE, but his time in LA and even in MIA didn't have the TE as one of the top 2-3 passing options.
2015 MIA - Jordan Cameron had 386 yards and 3 TDs, was 6th most rec yards on team
2017 LA - Tyler Higbee had 295 yards, 1 TD, was 5th most rec yards on team. Everett was 6th in yards, 2 TDs.
2018 LA - Everett had 320 yards, 3 TDs, was 6th most rec yards on team. Higbee was 7th most yards, 2 TDs.

I wouldn't be shocked to see the receiving options go like this...
1 - AJ Green
2 - Tyler Boyd
3 - Joe Mixon
4 - John Ross (could be Ross over Mixon depending on success of run game though)
5 - TE

If the above happens to be true, that role can be done with Kroft, Uzomah or a mid-round draft pick. I wouldn't want to spend an early-round pick or big money on a TE if they won't be a top 3 passing option.

Our offense won't necessarily be a direct copy of the Rams'.  Zac will adapt it to make it his own.  And if we did draft a TE early, I'd imagine he'd adapt to fit him in.
