Why we don't need a TE

It does not matter what scheme we run.  I feel it will be impossible to find a TE that will be a better receiving threat than Boyd, Chase, or Higgins.

This discussion is getting a little convoluted because I started out just talking about how we don't need an upgrade over CJ this year.  But this is the last year of his contract.  So now we are starting to talk about next year.  But I still think that with the talent we have a WR we don't need an elite pass catching TE.  Even the best TEs are not as good as our WRs.  CJ (or someone on his level) is fine for our offense.

Reiff, Ogunjobi, Bates, Tupou, and Spain are all free agents next year.  I would much rather use our top draft picks on O-line or D-line to replace those losses than pick a TE who will just take targets away from our really good WRs or else be wastes as a #4 option.
