I'm not thrilled by the idea simply because TE is not a premium position.
Look at what top 10-ish TEs had to sign for in free agency. Gesicki and Schultz both signed 1 year up to 9 million dollar contracts with incentives (Gesicki was 4.5 up to 9, Schultz was 6.25 up to 9). If we wanted to sign one of them, we could have and we chose not to. That tells me the team doesn't value TE even at 9 million a year, so should we be spending a first round pick on a position that, given the chance, we just decided not to sign the top tight ends on the market for an incredibly reasonable price?
Good points on Schultz and Gesicki, also the 5th year extension serves has little value for a TE.
