I may be overly-optimistic here, but I'm not fully ready to give up on Davis Dudchock, who had the unenviable task of trying to find playing time when there were three likely NFL-quality TEs in front of him. He may not have been ready to seize the opportunity last year when Ertz went down, but hopefully he makes enough progress before the start of the season, and develops enough chemistry with the QBs, that he can be productive this year. I'm more concerned with the following year, when it is likely that Ertz and perhaps Toilolo, if he has a good year, head for the NFL. Encouraged to see Eric Cotton commit (and I like his film very much, though I know it is hard to put a lot of stock in youtube videos); and also interested to see how things work out with Hunter Henry, Jordon Sherit, and Greg Taboada. We have a small incoming class this year, but if we were able to pick up Sherit and/or Taboada, both of whom seem to be able to play both DE or TE, could be a nice way to replenish our stock of TEs.
