It’s not a total slam dunk after Gronk as much as I’d love to just say Chandler and Wright can get the job done. I was just as intrigued by Jake Ballard as I am Chandler and he ended up getting cut, so who knows. Still, that Chandler/Gronk size combo is exciting.
Wright feels like the most underrated guy on the roster at the minute. In a different universe he’d be getting a lot more hype as one of the best young receiving tight ends in the game, and now with a full offseason in the playbook, I could see him really emerging.
I still don’t think Hooman is totally out of that mix for his blocking and experience. Plus he seems durable and that goes a long way.
Fred Davis was out of football last year, he probably needs at least an injury or two to stick.
Then there’s rookie AJ Derby who is in that Hooman mold, but he’s new to the position and is likely headed to the practice squad I’d bet.
