In the first Carolina playoff game, Carolina dared us to pass. A reason is that, outside Thomas and Kamara, our receivers are not special. A quality tight end would materially make our offense more dangerous.
We will have to see what tight ends are available in free agency. In the draft, there may not be a tight end worthy of the 27th pick--let's wait until the combine takes place. But at this time, there appear to be several tight ends in this draft who should go in the second and third rounds.
