The only thing the TEs are capable at are being hurt (Eifert) and dropping passes (Uzomah).


Your scenario is relying on every single person being both healthy and better. That's a recipe for disaster before the season even starts.

Jake Kumerow and Alonzo Russell will fight it out for the #6 WR spot.  Your comments about the TEs are based out of frustration.  Uzomah made huge strides in his first action and was headed to a solid season before injury slowed him, and Eifert's impact could be felt immediately upon his return.  He had 5 TDs in just 8 games.  

My scenario has to do with the fact that they aren't releasing AJ, Boyd, Core, Erickson, or Wright as they all have important roles.  The #6 WR will likely not be active at games anyways.  They are also not releasing Eifert, Kroft, Uzomah, or Hewitt.  So, you might want a vertical threat to stretch the field, but I think that player is already on the team in Core, and has already earned the spot.  The coaches love him.  He's 6'3" tall, 220 lbs, and runs a 4.4 forty yard dash.  It would take a hell of a draft pick to supplant him.  There are much bigger needs on this roster, and I addressed those in my OP.
