Evidently, we have 5 tight ends who show signs of being very good or even excellent. One thing's for sure; I don't think we've ever had a scenario where there will be this much competition for roster spots at TE. Our Red Zone offense should have no excuses.

I think that Uzomah is going to be inactive a lot this season. This is the first time he's had a TE coach so he's a work in progress.

Plus, here's why I don't have the highest hopes for Uzomah, and partially Kroft.

Here's all the TEs drafted under Marvin:

Matt Sherry
Chase Coffman
Jermain Gresham
Orson Charles
Tyler Eifert

Sherry, Coffman, and Charles barely made a peep for us. Gresham was solid, but never seemed to develop and Eifert remains a question mark. Yet, Marvin keeps Jon Hayes around despite him not being able to develop a TE.
