Disagree about adding a mid round TE to the mix. Rookie TE's usually don't do much their rookie season. Heck even past first rounder's like OJ Howard and Hayden Hurst didn't do much in their first campaign.
If the Bears want to add a TE who can help now it needs to be in free agency. I realize the budget is tight but they'd have better luck at snagging a day one contributor in the free agency than the draft. Selecting a day three TE probably just add another warm body to the mix next season but not much else.
I don't see the need at TE. Shaheen got injured in preseason, had he not he would have been a major part of the offense all season long. He was a feature heading into the season and all throughout training camp for anyone who attended.
Now, if he would be a PRODUCTIVE part of the offense is yet to be seen. His growth has been stunted by injuries. I doubt he will ever be anything above average, but I also very much doubt that he won't have every opportunity to produce coming into next year. Leaves very little meaningful playtime for a TE next year when you factor in shaheen and burton.
This is the same GM who allowed KW to get starter snaps for 3 years in a row after injuries.
I doubt we draft or sign another TE.
