I wouldn't mind Saints converting Juwan Johnson to TE. 6' 3" 231 pounds. Put some more weight on him and see what he could do added to Trautman and Vannett

Trautman is not the type of tight end we are used to. He is not a receiving thread like Shockey, Graham or Cook. He is a more traditional "done everything well" tight end.
There is good and "bad" of it.
The good is that he is a 3 down tight end, contributing exceptionally on the blocking but also in the pass. We will get the most of Trautman if he turns to be a reliable 3rd down converter and a red zone option.
The bad, he won't be a tight end that stretches the field and coverage, the wide receivers and Kamara will have to replace this feature from Cook.
Right now, and for the old timers, I see him more in the traditional mold of Hoby Brenner, and with the chance to evolve even more to be something like a Greg Olsen kind of player.
