I imagine we will have a lot of 3-WR sets with a blocking tight end.  I imagine that there will be dramatic reduction in pass catching at the tight end position, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is made up for by increased productivity at the WR position.

I don't expect that we will watch any Stanford football this fall. If we do, I foresee defenses going single coverage on the WRs with a safety coming up for run support to put 7 in the box. Stanford has had a tough time running against defenses that are stacked to stop the run. A TE (or 2) that is a threat to release from the line and catch a pass could really loosen up the defense and help both the running and passing games. But that seems unlikely based on this discussion.
