Sounds exactly like a tool we would use. I think we all agree that he would make a nice draft pick and to me personally he looks more interesting than most of last year's TEs.
However, I almost expect that someone (e.g. Ravens ? Who knows what will happen with Pitta) will get him in the second round before we have a chance. Unless under ideal circumstances I am not sure if our situation + his ability is worth trading up for.
TE certainly isn't at the top of our needs list and it's hard justifying picking him with the first pick, whether in the first or after a trade back, and I probably wouldn't. But can you imagine how he and a quality RB would top off the offensive skill positions. We'd still need offensive linemen but our offence would be really hard to stop with him and 2-3 years of Marshawn Lynch or some such prospect on top of what we already have.
