5) can this player be effective on special teams...the back of the roster has to pick up snaps on Darrin Simmons' teams

And I would say Grandy over McLachlan....Grandy is the only real back up to Sample's role

Spot on on the ST angle. Both for making the 53 and PS. 

I have to admit, part of my confusion at TE is I have no earthly idea what kind of player McLachlan is. Blocker? Receiver? Both? If you keep him, who does he most likely bump? 

I am still keeping 5 TEs. But I think Hudson/McLachlan for 5th is likely correct. Though the decision to keep 5 is somewhat dubious.
