Why we don't need a TE

2.  In Eifert's best season (2015) Mo Sanu only had 33 receptions for 394 yards.  I would not want to see Chase, Boyd, or Higgins limited to that type of production just to get more targets for a TE.

1.  We were drafting 21 overall if I remember correctly.  Eifert was considered a top 10 talent, we definitely have the roster to make a move like that.  Looking at the first game (if everyone performs similar and stays healthy, there aren't a ton of huge needs on this team.)

2.  This offense is much different than the one we used to run with Andy.  Targets won't be an issue.
