Keep Shreck as 4th TE.
Tate is a good blocker for a WR though and Schreck isn't stellar at blocking as a TE. I wouldn't be so sure they are that far apart from each other just because of the ~20 lb weight difference.
Evan Engram is only 240 lbs. I think Tate could get to that size in one season if the team wanted to convert him to TE.

Have you seen the way the Saints use Taysom Hill?
I dont want to sound like i am banging the drum for this too much. But they pull out a HoF QB and put the ball in Hills hands frequently. And it works

TE's sometimes have to block DE's something I don't see tate doing but hopefully neve rhave to find out
