Who’s In: Travis Kelce, Gavin Escobar, Wyatt Houston

Who’s Out: Demetrius Harris, Ross Travis

It is entirely possible that Travis Kelce is the only tight end that I am predicting to make the roster that actually does as both Harris and Travis have the advantage of already knowing the offense over Escobar and Houston. Personally, I am done with Harris who has never impressed me and when you add in his off the field issues this offseason I think it is time to move on. Ross Travis and Gavin Escobar are both primarily pass catching options and I just think Escobar has some upside advantages over him. I really do think Houston has a chance to make the roster as an undrafted free agent. If you watch any of his college tape you see a guy with great hands and the prototypical size to be more of a factor as a run blocker than either Harris or Travis. His athleticism is decent as well and if nothing else he would be a sure handed dump off target as a second tight end.

Next up, the offensive line.
